Features

• No chat client program needed (you can use telnet)
• Easy commands and help
• Separate editable message of the day (motd) file
• Support multi room; a user can create several room
• Faster native machine code (after compiled) than script
• Written under C++, OOP with generic reusable classes
• Uses Linux's PThread which is more efficient than fork

Usage

• Extract the compressed file cuitechat.tar.gz. (tar -zxvf cuitechat.tar.gz)
• Go to cuitechat directory and compile using 'make'.
• Run the program ./cuitechat
• You can test your server using telnet on port 5000: 'telnet localhost 5000'
• If everything works fine you should see the MOTD message and start login.
• use '/?' to see the command.
• use '/`' to kick out a user (for fun).

Planned Enhancement

• I will improve authentication with password.
• I will implement NVT (Network Virtual Terminal) so Windows user can also join the server using telnet.
• I will implement connectivity with HTTP
• I might implement a secure chat room with encryption
• I'm open for suggestion.
