Overview

This repository implements a chat system using Python, C++, and Assembly. It demonstrates cross-language integration and network programming with a focus on efficiency and reliability.

Features

• UNIX Python Server:
  • Utilizes multiplexing for handling multiple chat connections efficiently.
  • Sends and receives messages using the socket library.
  • Supports multiple clients and handles disconnections gracefully.
• Windows C++ and NASM clients:
  • Implement Windows Sockets API (Winsock) for network communication.
  • Multi-threaded design ensures responsive user interactions.
  • Memory management optimized to prevent leaks.

Getting Started

• Prerequisites: Python, a C++ compiler, NASM, and Windows environment for the clients.
• Installation: Clone the repo and compile the C++ and NASM clients.

Usage

1. Start the Python server on UNIX.
2. Run the C++ or NASM client on Windows.
3. Enter a name and start chatting!
