# Lisp Chat
An experimental chat irc-like written in Lisp.
# Installation
Install [roswell][ros] and add `~/.roswell/bin/` to the `PATH` variable.
After that just type:
``` bash
ros install ryukinix/lisp-chat
```
Lisp-chat it's on Quicklisp as well, tested on the following
implementations:
* SBCL
* CCL
* ECL
# Usage
Load the server
```bash
$ lisp-chat-server localhost
```
Create a client
```bash
$ lisp-chat localhost
```
As alternative of `localhost` you can use `server.lerax.me` which
points to a lisp-chat server running in the port 5558.
# Alternative clients
If you want test this and don't have the Lisp requested, I have those
alternatives for you:
* Terminal text-based python client
* Terminal ncurses python client
* Netcat client (wtf?)
On Python client, I wrote in a way only using ths stdlib avoiding pain
to handle the dependency hell, so you can just call that:
```bash
$ python client.py
```
So finally... netcat. Yes! You can even just use `netcat`! An user
called `Chris` in past days just logged in the server with the
following message:
```
|16:30:37| [Chris]: Used netcad
|16:30:41| [Chris]: netcat*
|16:30:50| [Chris]: bye
```
So you can type `netcat server.lerax.me 5558` and go on! I tested on
my machine and works fine! The main reason is because the
communication between server and client just use raw data. For better
synchronization with text data from server while you typing, I suggest
you to use a readline wrapper like
[`rlwrap`](https://github.com/hanslub42/rlwrap) calling as `rlwrap
netcat server.lerax.me 5558`.
