pageRewrite the client of Homework 1 using UDP.
The packet format is unchanged. However, there is one change in the way the ``connection'' is initiated. The server will have one rendez-vous port. The number of this port will be 7000 plus the user-id of the person starting the server. The client starts the game by sending a message containing the string
PLAY
to this port. The server will respond by sending the string
BALANCE 1000000
from a port number that should be used for the remainder of the session.
By 1 October, a UDP server following this protocol will be running at UDP port number 7295 on penrose.cs.unca.edu.
