Draw and Guess - Real Time ver.

Draw and Guess ver. Real-Time is an online word-guessing game. In the game, we form groups of 2-8 players and the system will designate one player as the painter according to the order of connection and randomly search for a word in the dictionary. The player needs to use the mouse to draw the specific word given by the system. Meanwhile, other players will try to guess the word. At the end of the round, another player will become the painter and the system will also give a new secret word as a reciprocal for the player to score.

Yuetian Chen was responsible for the project planning, GUI design and GUI implementation. Kevin Xia worked on the network, model and controller. Jeff Li worked on the dictionary, protocol, user manual and test manual. Everyone in our group was involved in the testing work. All of the content was implemented in Java.

Acknowledgement

This project was carried out in July 2022 in the CSCI 4963 Application Programming Using Java course. The intent is to demonstrate an end-to-end network communication and protocol design guidelines using Java and a highly customized development process using Java Swing.

This project is relatively sensitive to resolution and DPI. For the best experience, please experience the application in 1080p 100%-175% scale.
