Welcome to the MessageChat wiki!

This application uses Python3.

In order to use this program, begin to run the server chat file in a command prompt.

Next, open another command prompt window in order to register as a client. You will be prompted to enter an IP address (127.0.0.1 was used in the following pictures), and can either enter your own port number or simply hit the return key to let the program use the default port value. Connect up to 5 clients by opening different command prompt windows. The first messaged entered should be the users name, and from there, you can begin to message!

Please consult the attached images for what the interface looks like.
