Where do I specify config info?

In the top level of this repository, in the file config.json.

How do I change the host's IP address and port number?

In config.json, edit the host and port key-value pairs.

For example, if you wanted to run the game on 1 computer:

"host": "localhost", "port": "8000".

To run the game on multiple machines in the lab, set host to be the IP address of the computer you want to run the server on.

How do I change the number of players in the game?

In the Constants.hpp file, modify the NUM_PLAYERS variable. Don't forget to build the client and server executables before running them again!

How can I quickly run 4 clients at the same time?

From a terminal in the skrrt/Game/ directory, execute the run4.sh scripts by doing ./run4.sh.
