Overview

This game has a lobby where players can choose their opponents and send invitations. Once another play accepts the invitation, they can play the game together.

This project uses Apache MINA as the network layer library and Spring rich client as the UI library.

This project is based on the sample project I created for my article about Apache MINA 2 in Chinese.

Below is a screen-shot of the project.

Usage

Download TetrisMina-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar first, then use the following command to start the server and clients.

Start the server:

    java -cp ./TetrisMina-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar tetrismina.server.ServerMain

Start the client:

    java -cp ./TetrisMina-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar tetrismina.client.ClientMain

By default, the server is running on port 9190. The client connects to localhost.

For developers

This is a Maven project and you'd better install Maven plug-in for Eclipse to build and debug this project easily.

Please note, the dependency xswingx 0.2.0 is not available on Maven repositories. You need to download it from http://code.google.com/p/xswingx/ and install it to your local Maven repository. Refer to this page for more details.

To test the project, start the server and two clients on the same machine.

Note

This project is used to demonstrate some key ideas of Apache MINA and it still has some problems when playing the game.
