Chat Python

Project Description

This project implements a robust client-server chat system in Python. It enables multiple clients to connect to a central server and exchange messages in real-time within a shared chat room environment.

Core Functionality

• Concurrent client handling via threading
• Real-time message broadcasting
• Dynamic nickname assignment and management
• Graphical User Interface for clients

Server Architecture

The server acts as the central hub, managing socket connections and message distribution.

• Listens for incoming TCP connections
• Spawns a new thread for each connected client
• Broadcasts messages from one client to all others
• Maintains a registry of active users

Client Application

The client provides an intuitive interface for users to interact with the chat room.

• Threaded message reception (non-blocking UI)
• Tkinter-based GUI for message display and input
• Automatic connection handling and protocol management
