Deadpool

Let's first answer the elephant in the room: Why did I name it Deadpool? Well, because he's my favourite Anti-Hero, although arguably, Loki is a close second.

What is it?

As you should know, Deadpool is known as the "Merc with a mouth" and it would make sense for him to have his very own chat-app to talk to (*cough* annoy *cough*) people (*cough* Wolverine *cough*) if and when needed. Aaaaaand it needs to be fast, so I wrote it in C++. No other reason. Absolutely none. Not at all because I am in a C++ lunatic phase right now.

How to use it?

  • Dependancies
sudo apt install libboost-all-dev
  • Clone
git clone git@github.com:Jadit19/Deadpool.git
cd Deadpool
  • Build
chmod +x ./build.sh

At this point, something like this should be visible on your screen (if not, open up an issue):

build.png

  • Run server
./build/server/server
  • Run client(s)
./build/client/client

How to exit?

Unlike Vim, this can be exited pretty cleanly:

  • \q to just quit.
  • \sq to save and quit.
