Decentralized Twitter

This is a system where we create a twitter like app. One Peer connects to a Registry, and any other Peer that connects to the Registry will receive any messages sent by any Peer.

This project was originally created for my distributed systems class. I then refactored it in my advanced programming class.

The Git history of this project demonstrates a lesson that designing and code organization plays a crucial role!

🏃 Running The Registry

1. Make sure you have Java JDK 17.
2. Navigate outside of the registry/ folder.
3. Compile the entire folder of registry with javac registry/*.java
4. Run with java registry.Registry
   • If this doesn't work, try java registry/Registry

🏃 Running the Peer(s)

1. Make sure you have Java JDK 17.

📝 Changelog

Version 1.2

Preparing this code base for use in my resume. Demonstrates strong programming skills.

• Removed Main.java and renamed Iteration3Solution.java to contain the short piece of code.
• Added System updates with print statements
• ProcessHandler.java added pauses to let the user know what has happened.
• Main.java renamed and separated methods to do only what they're named to do.
• NetworkHandler.java now contains proper comments and proper error handling.

Version 1.1

This project was refactored and cleaned up using Refactoring Guru's code smells and solutions.

• Added settings file
• Large Class: Removed non cohesive methods from Main.java
• Long Methods: Separated, the GenerateReport method into smaller methods
• Long Params: Shortened the length of parameters by passing objects instead
• Removed Dead Code
• Removed Duplicate Code
• Overuse of Primitive Types caused a lot of confusion. Thus, creating objects and getter/setters simplifies the system.
