woot! The only problems are
1)Client has to intiate conversation and it can't send 2 messages in a row, has to wait for server response.
2)No spacebars :(

TCP/IP :) ahduh lol
Anyways, it's a real tiny program, about 57 lines in C++ for both client and server but I'm going to keep adding on to it

Are you using a dedicated server to communicate and clients connect to it?

na no dedicated server for a small-ass program :)
Anyone who wants the source PM me and I'll give it to you... it's nothing special at all... no nodes, vectors, or anything of that sort...

YEs, msn works on linux... use GAIM

Using a dedicated server for everything would be a good idea.... hmm mine is just someone starts the server and the client connects and has a conversation... I wouldn't know where to start for multiple connections to a single server with a database of all users and shit like that woah... or something along those lines or a server for central communication

ahh I see.. your method is great for a 1 on 1 chat, but having many users, it'd be a pain.. :eek:
