This project is a simple implementation of a Discord-like server in Python. It allows clients to connect, subscribe to channels, and send messages.
- User Authentication: Users can connect to the server with a unique username.
- Channel Subscription: Users can subscribe to different channels.
- Message Sending: Users can send messages to the channels they are subscribed to.
- GUI Updates: The server GUI is updated in real-time with the list of connected clients and channel subscribers.
The discord_server.py file contains the Server class which is the main class for the server. It manages client connections, channel subscriptions, message broadcasting, and interacts with the GUI. It also starts the server and handles client connections in separate threads.
The client_handler.py file contains the ClientHandler class which is responsible for handling individual client connections. It processes incoming messages from clients, sends messages to clients, and disconnects clients when necessary.
The server_gui.py file contains the ServerGUI class which is responsible for the graphical user interface of the server. It displays the server log, the list of connected clients, and the list of subscribers for each channel. It also provides methods to start and stop the server.
To start the server, run the discord_server.py file. Clients can then connect to it and start interacting.
