💡 How It Works

This project consists of a server (server.py) and client (client.py) setup:

• The server handles player connections and synchronizes game data.
• Each client sends and receives car positions via encrypted socket communication.

Coin & Nitro Mechanic:

• Players collect coins scattered along the track.
• Upon collecting 5 coins, the player unlocks an "N" Nitro Booster.
• Nitro grants a temporary but massive speed increase, ideal for overtaking opponents.

Celebration Feature:

• Confetti animations celebrate the winner at the end of the race.

Security Emphasis:

• Communication is protected using SSL encryption.
• Uses cert.pem (certificate) and key.pem (private key) to ensure authentication, integrity, and confidentiality.
• Clients cannot connect unless verified with the SSL cert/key pair, ensuring a secure multiplayer environment.
