CasioKing54 - Stardance

@CasioKing54 on Chatting app with rooms · 13 days ago

I made a chatting app with rooms in python. I made my own server and client scripts and for the communication I used nothing other than the sockets library (technically my own SocketUtils library which only uses that) and the threading library. It was really challenging to me to deal with the threading because it was my first time doing something like that and I am really proud of myself for making it work.

You should know that I made the GUI using textual and it technically makes it TUI which it means that it's user interface but in the terminal, so you will need to copy and paste text like you would in a terminal :)

Added GUI using textual
Also fixed some bugs regarding the threading, and socket messaging.

I implemented a fetch_rooms function, and a create_room function.

Created also a custom button because I forgot textual already had buttons but now I’m owning it and using it in every place.

Put project details on README file.
Also started working on the actual message and command handling by the server.
Added a function that disconnects sockets in a good way so I won’t have to write it that way all of the time

Currently working on the base classes for both the client and the server. I also need to refactor the code that handles threading because it’s too specific and because of that the server.py file and the main function don’t have a lot to do.

More updates later this day I hope :)
