Assignment
Create a C++ console application using RakNet. This is a client/server application, that will allow multiple clients to
connect to the server.
• Establish message/data transmission between your server and multiple possible connected clients using
RakNet
• Store the GUID of each client that connects to the server, and use the GUIDs to send data to the connected
clients
• Ensure the server informs all clients when a new client connects. Each client must store and display a list of
all other connected clients
• Check for key presses in the main game loop. When the user presses:
o ‘Esc’ – quit the application (client and/or server)
o ‘/username message’ – send the message to the specified username
o ‘/all message’ – send the message to all connected clients
o ‘/encrypt on’ – switch encryption on for all connected clients and the server. From this point
forward, all messages are sent encrypted and must be decrypted by the receiving clients. Each client
that receives an encrypted message, must print the encrypted message and then the decrypted
message. Use zlib for compression purposes (https://zlib.net/)
o ‘/encrypt off’ – switch encryption off for all connected clients and the server. From this point
forward, all messages are sent in plain text
• Show an error message if the supplied /username is invalid
• Handle client disconnects gracefully
• When the server application closes, all clients should be informed and show a server offline message
