FT_IRC is a custom implementation of an IRC (Internet Relay Chat server), developed as part of the 42 school curriculum. This project aims to replicate the backbone features of traditional IRC servers, allowing users to connect, join channels, and communicate in real-time. Emphasis is placed on understanding network programming concepts such as: TCP protocol, socket programming... and implementing RFC standards for IRC.
Moreover, the construction of the server was also required to adhere to programming constraints imposed by the project guidelines, such as the use of the C++ 98 standard and restrictions on certain functions.
