Distributed Whiteboard App

This is a distributed whiteboard application that utilises Java RMI for the server and JavaFX library for the GUI interface. It allows multiple users to collaborate in real-time on a shared canvas, making it an excellent demonstration of distributed systems communication and state synchronisation using Java RMI.

Running the server

java -jar WhiteboardServer.jar "host IP" "port"

Running the app

java -jar WhiteboardApp.jar "host IP" "port" "username"
