Message Exchange Simulation

A simple Java project simulating communication between two players (INITIATOR and RECEIVER) using threads and blocking queues.

This project demonstrates a clean and dynamic design for inter-thread communication where:

  • Messages are sent from an initiator to a receiver.
  • Responses are concatenated and logged by the initiator.
  • The simulation terminates gracefully after a predefined number of exchanges.

Features

  • Two dynamically named players (INITIATOR and RECEIVER).
  • Inter-thread communication using BlockingQueue.
  • Concatenated message exchange logged for the initiator.
  • Graceful termination using a special "TERMINATE" signal.
  • Minimal dependencies: Pure Java with no external libraries.

How It Works

  1. The initiator sends messages to the receiver.
  2. The receiver processes each message and sends a response back to the initiator.
  3. Each response is appended to a concatenated message log maintained by the initiator.
  4. After 10 message exchanges, the initiator sends a termination signal to stop the receiver.
  5. Both threads terminate gracefully.

Installation and Setup

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/MessageExchangeSimulation.git
