A simple client-server chatroom, implemented using C sockets programming. There are 2 pairs of client-server programs, one using TCP and one UDP. The TCP server program is multi-threaded, with one thread for each client connection (max. 10 concurrent clients).
The folders should compile into 4 distinct exectutables:
chatserver_tcp, chatclient_tcp, chatserver_udp, chatclient_udp.
Run make to compile everything, or make build-[server|client]_[tcp|udp] to compile a specific program.
To run the TCP server and client, use the following commands:
./chatserver_tcp -start -port [port] -passcode [passcode]
./chatclient_tcp -join -host [hostname] -port [port] -username [username] -passcode [passcode]
To run the UDP server and client, use the following commands:
./chatserver_udp -start -port [port] -passcode [passcode]
./chatclient_udp -join -host [hostname] -port [port] -username [username] -passcode [passcode]
