Welcome to the ft_irc called "LRC" based on its creator (Liberal/lliberal, Rubens/rteles-f and Chaleira/plopes-c)
The ft_irc - Internet Relay Chat - is a Project about Sockets, Servers, Connections and Clients. For 42 Students: It's also your first chance to truly explore and develop your skills in Object Oriented Programming, and I highly recommend you try your best to code in this fashion, as it is a very important and modern tool for programmers.
The core of our project is the combination of the principles in Observer Pattern, the Factory Pattern, the std::map container, and function pointers, making the Server concise, highly adaptable and easy to correct/maintain.
For classes we needed:
- Server - Who manages connections, Acts as the Observer and the Factory;
- Client - That stores, handles all Clients operations and inputs, and Acts as the Subjects;
- Channels - That groups clients and manages this group;
- Connections - That handles all the in and out of Clients and sockets;
