Python implementation of a chat room using TCP protocol.
Plain Python 3, nothing more required. Version 3.8+ recommended.
Run the server with python server.py. Add clients in other terminals with python client.py
and start chatting in the command line. If using multiple machines, change server address
accordingly.
On Windows, prefer the CMD as the Git-Bash console does not work well with background threads.
Only broadcast messages supported: all other clients in the chat room receive your messages.
Supported commands:
/admin-- become admin/quit-- quit the chat room/exit-- same as/quit
Supported admin commands:
/online-- show online users list/kick abc-- kick userabc/ban abc-- kick and ban userabc(prevent reconnection)/unban abc-- unban userabc(remove from ban list)/banned-- show banned users list
