tcparle

Chat over TCP. Name is TCP + "parle", which is French for talk.

You can connect with telnet:

$ telnet $HOST:$PORT

Currently, it’s built entirely with just the standard library.

Commands

• /room [room]: Join a room. Rooms will be created if they do not exist. If no arguments are given, it will print your current room.

• /rooms: List all rooms.

• /delroom [room]: Deletes a room if it is empty.

• /nick [name]: Change your display name.

• /quit: Leave the chat

If you don’t specify a command, whatever you type will be sent to everyone in your room.

Roadmap

• Color the usernames

• Add a /help command

• Validate room names

• Add a prompt with this format: [user]:

• Make a /typing command that gives a typing test and broadcasts user’s results
