Intro and how it works

This project was origianlly a project proposed for a school project for a computer networking course at Southern Adventist University. The purpose of the project was to develop something using TCP or UDP protocol(Ours uses TCP).

Our idea was to re-creat pong but make it multiplayer between two computers. How it works is that there is a Server and a client computer. Bothe computers brodcast their paddle location, but only the server broadcasts the Ball.
