# ChatAPP
An instant messaging app using Java and the UDP protocol.

## How to run

> [!WARNING]
> As of now, the app rely on ANSI escape character, thus not available on Windows.
> However, this feature is under development.

You can run the app by launching the `ChatApp` class. This will create the server (port `6665`) and a first client,
(creating by the way a room (`101`)).

You can then create more clients by launching the `Client` class. It will connect to the server 
(be sure you launched it first) on the default port `6665`.

## How to use
As soon as you launch a client, you will be prompted to enter your name. You will then be in the lobby. From here you 
can join whatever room that is created, and you will be able to chat with the other clients in the room.
You will also be able to create a new room.
