Challenge #11 - Chat Console (Networking)
Since last weekend turned out to be Networking Weekend (See Blog (http://www.underwaredesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=338.msg15594#msg15594)(members only)), then how could I resist setting a related networking challenge. So without further a due, your challenge is to create a chat window. The window should allow two (or more) networked computer users to talk.
Appearance wise the example should include a scrolling window & text input. Of course if you're adventurous you could implement some more advanced text parsing to support smiley's, async file transfers and perhaps full gui.. But... I think making a simple chat program is more than enough for starters. :)
You can use either MultiSync (http://www.underwaredesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=2315.0) or K-NetLIb (http://www.underwaredesign.com/forums/index.php?topic=666.0).
