**INSTALL**

You may choose to compile this package yourself, or to run the executable .jar file.

1.  Clone or download this repository (https://github.com/denvaar/ChatClient).

2.  Run the .jar file. (java -jar FarmChat.jar) or 

    compile and run this package. (javac ChatClient/*.java && java ChatClient/Client).   

If you would like to create a .jar file after compilation, you can run this command:

**BUGS/IMPROVEMENTS**   

TODO:   

-   Sometimes the client throws a nullpointer exception when starting up. Seems

    to be related to the initialization of components. This causes the chat output

    text area's scroll pane to function improperly.   

-   Convert .WAV sound files to MP3 and modify the code to work propperly with MP3 to save

    on resource space. 

-   Add a "user is typeing..." message.   

-   Add ability to chat one on one.   

FIXED:

-   If an initial connection is not established, and the user clicks on the X button

    of the Client window, nothing happens.
