Story Builder Game

Introduction

This project is a multithreaded story builder game that allows multiple people to take turns contributing to a shared story.

Each player takes turns contributing to the story. Once the last player takes a turn, then the turn goes back to the first player to join the server. Only one player at a time can take a turn.

This project uses the capabilities of synchronized blocks and semaphores to ensure that only one player at a time can contribute to the story. After each turn, the updated story is sent to each player.

Once one player disconnects from the server, the game is over.
