This is a simple chat server implemented in Go, which allows clients to connect to a central server and communicate with each other. The server handles client connections, allows users to send messages, request to connect with other clients, and manage chat sessions.
- Clients can connect to the server via TCP.
- Clients can list all currently connected clients.
- Clients can send connection requests to other clients.
- Clients can accept connection requests and start a private chat.
- Messages are transmitted between clients over the server.
To run and demo this application, you'll need:
- Go (version 1.18 or higher)
- Netcat (
nc) or another terminal-based tool to connect to the server.
