The ws folder contains scripts and configurations for learning and implementing WebSocket communication. Below is an overview of the contents and their purposes:

• README.md: Provides an overview and resources for learning WebSocket communication.
• main.js: Initializes the user interface for a Connect Four game.
• run_interactive.txt: Instructions for connecting to a WebSocket server interactively.
• app_ws.py: The WebSocket server script handles and prints incoming messages.
• index_ws.html: HTML file for the Connect Four game, integrating the main.js script.
• server_ws.py: WebSocket server script that echoes received messages.
• client_ws.py: WebSocket client script that sends and receives messages.

To run the WebSocket server, use the following command:

python app_ws.py

This will start a WebSocket server on port 8001.

To run the WebSocket client, use the following command:

python client_ws.py

This will connect to the WebSocket server on ws://localhost:8765 and send a "Hello world!" message.

To run the Connect Four game, open the index_ws.html file in a web browser. The game board will be initialized, and you can interact with it.

The scripts in the ws folder provide a starting point for learning and implementing WebSocket communication. Follow the instructions for running the server and client scripts, and explore the Connect Four game for a practical example of WebSocket usage.
