+> ### Topic
+> 
+> As part of the *Programming Project* course (CS108) for the semester FS26 at the University of Basel, we developed a computer game implementation of the popular card game Poker.
+> 
+> The project's focus was networking and distributed systems design. A key aspect of the implementation was the development and integration of a custom protocol specifically designed for client-server communication. This protocol handled game state synchronization, player actions, lobby and global chat functionality, and real-time updates across the network.
+>

+> 
+> This repository contains work created during the official duration of the course in collaboration with three other students.
+> 
+> Further information regarding individual contributions, repository state, synchronization status, and project ownership may be documented separately within this repository.
