Title: Cattle Chat
Post by: iago on November 22, 2005, 11:40:29 AM
I've been working on a chat server/client for a school project.  It's modeled after Battle.net, so I'll probably turn this into a bot eventually.  But for now, here is a screenshot of the server and a couple clients in action:

I've confirmed that it works on Slackware Linux, Fedora Core 2, and SunOS.  I have not tested it on any other OS.  Unless Newby is on BSD, in which case I've also tested it on BSD :)

It looks pretty sexy. You should host a server for x86, and then we  can like hopefully actually talk away from the forums. I know I'm never on b.net 'cause all of my keys are either voided or banned.

Make a Gaim plugin for it and use it as a private x86 network. B)

Neither of those is going to happen.  If I wanted a server to chat on, I'd use IRC.  What's the point of using another when what you have already works perfectly?

I'm only writing it as a school project, and never intend to use it as a chat medium.

You have the start of something great! You could be the creator of the new IRC!

On a side note, what language?

It's in C, I believe. Works well, and looks nice :P

Ergot is right, straight C. 

After the due date, I'll release the source.
