Solution to 'Mandatory Hand-In 3'

Repository for the solution to 'Mandatory Hand-In 3 - Chitty Chat, Distributed Systems, BSc (Autumn 2023)'. Made by Group 17.

HOW TO RUN:

There are two important folders associated with this repository: the client-folder, and the server-folder. In order to run this program, do as follows:

1. Change directory into the server-folder
2. Run the following command: go run server.go
3. After, change directory into the client-folder
4. Now you can run the following command any number of times: go run client.go
5. Everytime you run 'go run client.go', a new client application will start

Alternatively: run Chitty Chat as executable binaries

You can also choose to run the server and client as executable binaries - like a user would in real life. In order to do so, we recommend doing the following:

1. Make sure that your GOPATH environment variable is set - the generated binaries will go here
2. Change directory into the server-folder
3. Run the following command: go install
4. After, change directory into the client-folder
5. Run the following command: go install
6. Now an executable binary of both the client and server will be available at your GOPATH (likely inside a 'bin' file)
