Proximity

This repository contains a simple implementation of an offline chatroom.

Usage:

• git clone https://github.com/sakshi2912/Proximity.git

• To start the server

  python3 server.py

  If the web socket is not occupied, the chat server is started and a passkey is generated, for the chat room it is hosting. ( This passkey is to be shared with the participants joining the chat. )

• To start a client and connect to a chat room

  python3 client.py < chatroom's passkey >

Features/Bugs:

• Works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS
• Can support group chats.
• Anyone in the same network can start/join chatroom.
• A client can exit and re-connect to a chat-room multiple times.
• One server can host only one chat-room at a time.
• When the server disconnects, all the participants wil be forced to exit.
• Type 'exit' to leave the chat-room.
• Needs a User Interface
