Chat In Terminal

Hello all. 😉 Sockets and servers are vey important for connection and importantly chatting with others. 😂 😁 I have thought of making a python script which will amek connection and eventually allow us to chat.

(DISCLAIMER - This python script runs only on localhost. If you want to make a connection with other devices then you should check the code of the server.py file and use network library in the client.py file) 🙃

About

So, the thing that is done with this script is that, it starts a server and with the help of threading maintains many clients. It is like chatting in the terminal. You can join the chat by starting the client.py file.

Getting Started 😎 😎

Working with it is very simple.

• There shouble be a host means the head of the chat
• The host should run the server.py file and note the password given by it.
• The host need to start another terminal and start client.py file and enter with name host 👩‍💻 👩‍💻
• He/She needs to give the correct password as given by the server to start the chat. 🔐
• Anyone cannot join the chat unless host has joined 👥
• After host has joined, anyone can join now 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦
• Clients need to join with their nickname
• The message which will be send will be shown with their nickname in fron of the message

Commands to execute and things need to be installed
