 ## Structure

+- `server/`: Java TCP Server (Port 1870). Includes Anticheat logic (validates turns, moves, wins).
-- `client/`: Standalone Java Swing Client. Connects to `dokploy.lona-development.org:1870`.
+- `client/`: Standalone Java Swing Client. Defaults to `dokploy.lona-development.org:1870` but allows custom host/port.
 - `web-client/`: Spring Boot Web Application. Acts as a proxy to the TCP Server via WebSocket.
 
 ## Running with Docker Compose
@@ -16,28 +16,44 @@ To start the Server and Web Client:
 docker-compose up --build
 ```
 
-- **Server** runs on port `1870`.
+- **Server** runs on port `1870` (exposed).
 - **Web Client** runs on `http://localhost:8080`.
 
-## Building the Java Client
+## Building and Running the Standalone Java Client
 
-To build the standalone Java client:
+Go to the `client` directory and run the build script:
 
 ```bash
-./build_client.sh
+cd client
+chmod +x build.sh
+./build.sh
 ```
 
-To run it:
+### Usage
+
+By default, the client attempts to connect to `dokploy.lona-development.org:1870`.
 
 ```bash
-java -jar client/target/client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
+java -jar target/client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
 ```
 
-**Note:** The Java client is hardcoded to connect to `dokploy.lona-development.org`. Ensure this domain resolves to your server IP (or adds `127.0.0.1 dokploy.lona-development.org` to `/etc/hosts` for local testing).
+**Custom Host/Port (Local Testing):**
+If you want to connect to a local server (e.g., running via Docker Compose), pass the host and port as arguments:
 
-## Game Protocol
+```bash
+java -jar target/client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar localhost 1870
+```
 
-- **CREATE**: Starts a new game. Server returns a 6-character code.
+## Game Protocol (TCP 1870)
-- **JOIN <CODE>**: Joins an existing game.
+
-- **MOVE <ROW> <COL>**: Places your symbol.
+The server creates game sessions identified by a unique 6-character code.
-- **SURRENDER**: Forfeits the game.
+
+- **CREATE**: Starts a new game. Server returns `GAME_CREATED <CODE>`.
+- **JOIN &lt;CODE&gt;**: Joins an existing game. Server returns `JOIN_SUCCESS` or `ERROR`.
+- **MOVE &lt;ROW&gt; &lt;COL&gt;**: Places your symbol (0-2). Validated by server.
+- **SURRENDER**: Forfeits the game immediately.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Server Connection Refused?** Ensure the server container is running and port 1870 is mapped.
+- **Client stuck connecting?** Verify the hostname is reachable. Use `localhost` if running locally.
