Project Description:

SongGuessr is a live multiplayer music guessing game. Players will gain points every round by correctly guessing the playing song before time is up!

Players connect to a host server. They initially wait in a lobby. When the game starts, the host plays a randomized song. Players type their guesses with no spaces in the terminal. Players can see other players' guesses. When a player guesses a song correctly, they will gain points. After each song, player scores are displayed in everyone's terminals.

Instructions:

1. Clone github repo
2. run sudo apt get install ncurses

4. Listen to the song and type in your guesses!
