Python client-server messaging application utilizing UDP socket programming.

Message Board System

This is a simple client-server messaging system made for a Network class project. The program allows multiple clients to connect to a server and send messages to each other. The system uses UDP communication and socket programming were implemented for the server to handle multiple clients simultaneously.

Usage

For this program, we imported customtkinter, socket, sys, json, and threading

1. Install customtkinter by running pip3 install customtkinter
2. Start the server by running python server.py in the command line.
3. Start the client by running python clientgui.py in the command line.
4. You can type the following commands (with no slashes or backslashes at the front):
   • join <IP> <port>
   • leave
   • register <handle>
   • all <message>
   • msg <handle> <message>
   • ?

The correct IP address is 127.0.0.1 and the correct port is 12345. Please see the Guide.pdf file for a detailed guide.
