Version 0.1.4
Kim is a simple chat program, allowing multiple clients to connect to a central chat server. It uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to do screen, input, and network functions, and is cross-platform. So far I've only got it complied and tested on Linux (Redhat 9) and Windows XP, but I'll try to get other platforms checked as soon as I get a chance (and find someone willing to compile it on other platforms).
My primary motivation in writing this was to test using SDL_Net to do some simple network programming. I plan on documenting the code a lot better so others can follow how I did the network layer. I had a lot of problems when I first started trying to use the SDL_Net library. Of course, I'm not known for actually RTFMing before I start trying to use software, and that explains a lot.
Nothing fancy, but it did allow me to test my SDL_Net coding.
I hope you find it useful, instructive, or at least humorous.
I am writing this under the GPL license, so please do what you want to with what you find here.
Note: There is currently no security; this is not intended as a serious chat program, but as a exercise in me trying to get network programing to work right.
