Tank Game Wiki

This is the main page for the Tank Game wiki.

The objective is one of learning and fun by trying to program a simple 2D aerial view tank game. It is meant to be a multi-player experience of the kind which make an ideal lunch time diversion at work and which up to four players can join (this is flexible depending on technical limitations).

The project will be split into two Java projects:

• TankGameServer - Obviously this is where the all the calculation takes place, but all in a logical way. Other than for reasons of debugging in the early stages there will be no viewable aspect to this project, instead it will expose the necessary objects through RMI to the clients.
• TankGameClient - This is where all the input and output for the user happens. Input is via the keyboard initially (possibly mouse later on) and the output is the screen probably using Swing, either in full screen or windowed mode.

More details to follow as and when they become clear, or I have the time. This is a time filling project, so don't expect quick development.
