A localhost chat app
Chatter is at the very first steps of development, so feel free to message me with any problems that occur while you are using it.
#Directions for Usage:
-make sure you have python 3.8 or higher -You can check your version by typing "python3 --version" in your terminal -Python usually comes preinstalled on a Mac -You can install python on a Windows machine using microsoft store -Install PySide6 using pip install "python3 -m pip install PySide6"
-download zip -unzip the package
-Run the server first (serverGUI.py) -the first box should say "localhost" which just means create a server on your computer -the second box should say "port" which is the port that the server will run on. (choose a high 4-digit port number as lower numbers are commonly used by your machine) -Remember your port number (very import for clients to connect)
-Run the client now (chat.py) -in the chat bar (small text strip at the bottom of the window), delete the text that is already there, and type "localhost:PORT" where PORT is your 4-digit port number you used earlier
-If everything goes correctly you should get the "Welcome to this chatroom!" message
-Repeat the client step to create more clients (make copies of chat.py instead of running chat.py Your all your chatapps will quit otherwise)
