Multi-Room Chat

For this project I was required to program a multi-room text chat in python. Here is what was required for the project:

• Client

  • Include text fields for the users to specify server IP address, port, name, and message

  • Include buttons for users to connect to the server, set or change their name, switch chat rooms, and send a message

• Server

  • Record connected user’s name

  • Keep track of player room location

  • Only send messages to users in the same room

  • Deny service to incoming connections when the server has reached capacity

In addition to this, I also included push notifications that would notify all users in a particular room when someone changed their name, joined or switched to another room, or disconnected from the server.
