r-erd / chroom-cli

a java command line interface chat server and client

chroom-cli

a minimal java chat server and client

key features:

• you can chat with others
• only one room
• password-protected accounts
• no encryption
• no error handling

This was created during a project at uni in one of the first semesters and has very messy (and probably buggy) code.
There also is a follow-up application with more features and a gui. I might someday upload that too.

Usage

user commands:

!online       #lists other connected users
!connection   #checks if the connection is still alive
!quit         #closes the socket

start the server:

javac ChatServer.java
java ChatServer <port>

start the client:

javac ChatClient.java
java ChatClient <ip> <port>

Implementation

vanilla java
