Variables

o s 
 private java.net.Socket s
The Socket on which the Server listens, the network connection

o dis

Constructors

o BOClient 
 public BOClient()
Creates a client which is connected to the BOServer. Takes no arguments. It creates a new Socket connected to the port returned by gl.getPort() on the host with name gl.getAddress(), features of Mike Wessler's GameFinder. Makes new DataOutputStream and DataInputStream, which are given the OutputStream and InputStream of the Socket described above.

o available 
 public int available()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from the input stream connected to the Server without blocking

o send 
 public void send(int i)
Sends the specified int to the ClientHandler connected by the DataOutputStream. Flushes after every write.

Parameters:
int - i the int which should be sent

o sendCoords 
 public void sendCoords(int x,
                        int y)
Sends two ints, x and y coordinates, to the ClientHandler connected by the DataOutputStream. Flushes after every write.

Parameters:
int - x the x coordinate to be sent
int - y the y coordinate to be sent
