ConnectPro is a multi-client chatroom application developed in C++ using socket programming and multi-threading. This application allows multiple users to connect and communicate with each other in real-time.
- Multi-client support: Multiple users can connect to the chatroom simultaneously.
- Real-time communication: Messages sent by any user are broadcasted to all connected users.
- Socket programming: Utilizes TCP/IP sockets for network communication.
- Multi-threading: Ensures that the server can handle multiple clients at the same time by assigning a dedicated thread to each connected client.
- C++
- Socket Programming
- Multi-threading
- A C++ compiler (e.g., g++)
- Basic knowledge of socket programming
- Linux or Windows environment (Linux preferred for socket programming)
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/connectpro.git
- Navigate to the project directory:
cd connectpro - Compile the server and client files:
g++ server.cpp -o server -lpthread g++ client.cpp -o client
- Run the server:
./server
- In a new terminal window, run the client:
./client
- Start the server first.
- Run the client on different terminals (or machines) to simulate multiple users.
- Once connected, users can start sending messages, and the server will broadcast these messages to all connected users.
- Adding user authentication.
- Introducing private messaging between clients.
- Implementing a graphical user interface (GUI).
- Enhancing security with encryption.
