pixelChat

a node/websockets drawing chat adapted from jsChat!

Features

  • websockets real-time chat
  • draw your messages instead of typing
  • twitter auth, because randos ruin everything

Install

  1. add files to some directory on your server - node must be installed.
  2. go into the pixelchat directory and install dependencies by running: npm install (dependencies: express, socket.io)
  3. create a twitter app, update config-example.js and rename it to config.js for authenticationß
  4. to start chat server, run npm start
  5. direct your browser to localhost:3000
  6. if running this on another port or domain, change line 24 in app/pixelchat.js to match or else you'll get CORS errors

Notes

  1. works on browsers that support socket.io and html5 canvas.

  2. if you have suggestions and tips, please post an issue!.
