## 📌 Overview

A chat application demonstrating core networking principles with:

- **Java Sockets** for low-level communication  

- **JavaFX** for modern GUI  

- **Thread-per-client** architecture for scalability  

## ✨ Features

| Category        | Implementation Details |

|-----------------|-----------------------|

| **Messaging**   | Real-time broadcast |

| **Concurrency** | Supports 10+ concurrent users via thread isolation |

| **GUI**         | Color-coded messages (User/Server/System), Dynamic user list |

| **Stability**   | Graceful disconnection handling, Input validation |

## Installation & Running

1. Compile The Project  : 

```java

mvn clean compile

```

2. Run the Server : 

```java

mvn exec:java -D"exec.mainClass=server.Server"

```

3. Run Clients (in separate terminals)

```java

mvn exec:java -D"exec.mainClass=client.Client"

```

## How to Use
