Updog 🐶: nterminal chat app

so what's Updog? (gotcha 😆😆)

Updog is a chat app written in c, it can listen to upcoming connections from 1 client and send then receive messages from the client

Run:

• use the script:

mkdir build if build doesn't exist

then:

server side : bash ./run.sh -l [port]

client side: bash ./run.sh -c [ipAdress] [port]

or

• build it manually:

mkdir build

cmake ..

make

./updog

Improvements:

• start a connection between a server and client
• send and receive messages
• multiple clients to connect to a server
• user can send multiple messages to the server
• stop the connection when the client is inactive for 1min

Features:

• show the username of the client, and the time when the message was sent
• access those rooms with a username and a password
• allow file transfer between client and server
• secure the file transfer process

Todo:

• make the user disconnect when he type /q after ensuring the message was sent succesfully (Bug)
