Football Player Database System ⚽

A JavaFX Application with Server-Based Networking

Overview

This project was developed as a term project for Level-1/Term-II under the course CSE 108: Object-Oriented Programming Language Sessional. It is a JavaFX application that connects a football club to a local server using Java Networking.

Key Features

• Club Registration and Login: A club account is required for accessing features.
• Player Management: View, search, and filter a list of club players based on user-defined criteria.
• Transfer Market:
  • Clubs can connect to other clubs for player transfers.
  • The transfer market updates automatically based on user input.
  • Transfers can be initiated directly from the application interface.

Challenges and Future Improvements

The project introduces server-based networking, enabling clubs to connect and trade players. However, there are some limitations and areas for future enhancements:

1. Single Login Restriction: Currently, one club can log in from a single program instance at a time. Future updates may enable simultaneous logins from multiple instances.
2. Budget-Oriented Transfers: Adding a fixed budget system for more realistic transfer management.
3. Scalability: The current implementation uses a small dataset (25 players) read from a text file. Search algorithms are linear for simplicity but can be optimized for larger datasets.

Technical Details

• Platform: JavaFX
• Backend: Java Networking (server-based architecture)
• Database: Player data is read from a .txt file.
