PYTHON CHAT APP
In this repository, I created a chat app written in Python programming language. A chat application is a communication medium meaning that we have a **sender** and **receiver**.
## FEATURES
- Built with python and sockets.
- This app is run in the terminal.
- Signs in up to five users.
## RUNNING THE APPLICATION
Since the application is run in the terminal, we do not need so much, Just a few prerequisites.
### PREREQUISITES
- Knowledge on how to use the terminal.
- Python installed(modern editors like VScode have an option of installing python right from the extensions).
And then we are good to go!
### RUNNING THE APPLICATION
1. Open a terminal and Run ``python server-chat.py``.
2. Open a new terminal and run ``python client-chat.py``. Type your name beginning with ``#``.
3. You can open terminals for up to five users!
4. Each user that is added will be displayed in our first terminal where we run ``server-chat.py``.
5. You can now start sending messages in the formart **@user: message** .
## FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
- Proper user authentication.
- Improve validations.
