The FishTank project is an initative to exersize the fundamentals of the
Java progamming language as outlined in the Sun Java Computing Philosophy.
The FishTank consists of a basic client-server relationship. A master
server maintains a list of all active FishTank servers. Collectivly,
these servers make up the conceptual "FishTank". End-clients connect
to these servers (they recieve the list from the master server), and
can display a virtual "viewport" into a section of the tank represented
by the server it is connected to. Fish object can be added to the tank
by clients via an extensible Fish class. These fish are not restricted
to the server the client is connected to, but are free to roam between
servers so that clients connected to other servers can view them.
