Here is the code that has been written so far. It's hear so that others can see the product of amateur development of a unique chat client. Feel free to use it as you wish (except to cheat on homework or projects).
The protocol of this unique chat client is listed here (http://www.flashdaddee.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5371) if any of you wish to create a client GUI for it.
NOTE: The code is mostly written by me. The ServerSocket classes and files were borrowed from a tutorial.
One other thing: The server it's set at now is dead. To use it, someone with a server needs to run the server program, and the clients need to be compiled with the new server name. (Or with an option to change the name at run-time.)
There used to be a java client, a python client, and two windows GUI clients, but they are all obsolete as the versions (and therefore the protocol) has progressed. Telnetting the server won't help: the protocol stores the size of the packet in the 3rd and 4th bytes of it.
And one final word: the source is meant for linux. To compile, use cygwin, dev-cpp (maybe? I don't know), or just alter it so that it works with your compiler.
Have fun experimenting!
