Madness Chat

Chat server designed for casual and simple use in the terminal. Built in rust lang with an H.P Lovecraft theme (just because I'm a fan). Focusing only on the occasional use of a simple terminal.

• The server is designed not to store messages after the connection is closed. The messages sent by each user are identified with their respective IPs within the network, so it is recommended to implement a password

Installation:

  git clone https://github.com//JMoreira2Dev/MadnessChat.git
  cd MadnessChat
  cargo build --release --manifest-path madness_server/Cargo.toml --target-dir .
  cargo build --release --manifest-path madness_client/Cargo.toml --target-dir .

or

  cargo install --git https://github.com//JMoreira2Dev/MadnessChat.git madness_client
  cargo install --git https://github.com//JMoreira2Dev/MadnessChat.git madness_server

Usage:

Create Server

./madness_server localhost 6060 -p Password1234

Launch Client

./madness_client -i IP -p PORT -u Kyle -P Password1234
