Scrabble is a board game inspired by crosswords. In this game, one to four players create words on a 15x15 game board using tiles that have letters printed on them. The goal is to accumulate points, where the number of points the player wins in each move depends on the fixed score for each letter, the color ofthe squares in which the letters were placed, and the words that were created on the board by placing these tiles.
Our project is based on MVVM architecture and a remote Game Server who is responsible for validating the words requested by the players.
MODEL- We support two different game modes: a local game where several players play on the same computer, and a remote game where several players play from their own computers. As a result, there are two types of model: host and guest. The host model represents the state of the game. It contains the board, the tiles, the players, and the score. This Model also works as a server of the guest client. The host's server transferrs all player requests to the Game Server and receives the answers from it using the a protocol we implemented. In addition, the Model updates its observer, the ViewModel, when changes regarding to the game state occur.
VIEWMODEL- The ViewModel acts as an intermediary between the View and the Model and as an observer to the Model . The ViewModel exposes data and commands that the View binds to, and it interacts with the Model to retrieve and manipulate data. It also handles user interactions and events from the View, updating the Model and notifying the View of any changes.
VIEW- The View is responsible for displaying the user interface (UI) to the user. It is bounded by using property data members to the ViewModel layer in order to present on screen the most updated data, such as the board, score, user name and more.
