How It Works

Architecture

• Server:

  • Manages the game state and synchronizes paddle and ball positions.
  • Broadcasts game state updates to all connected clients.

• Client:

  • Sends user input (keyboard/mouse) to the server.
  • Receives game state updates from the server and renders the game.

Communication

• Built using WebSockets for real-time, low-latency communication.
• Messages between client and server are sent as JSON objects.
