You can communicate with people by writing messages and sending different files. This chat provides rooms and private messages between users. Chat is protected by RSA encryption.

Also, you can run several chat entities on the same host. You have to just clone chat in different directories (it will be changed, of course). It's all because of database.db. When you are trying run another entity in the same directory as the first then database.db will be thinking that first entity and yours are the one entity (bad, I know)

For detailed description see DECOMPOSITION.md file.

I want to completely change a structure of fluffychat in the future . For now, it's not really convinient tool and contains many grammar mistakes. Stay tuned, guys! Make fluffychat great again <3

Chat works only inlocal networks due to the fact that this is under development.

Network protocol of this chat is too naive. Because of that, I startedchat_protocol repository. After this protocol will be finished network functionality of this chat will be replaced withchat_protocol implementation.

Here will be a little description about architecture.

Here will be examples.

Log file isapp.log. You can see it by typing next:

$ vim app.log

There are two ways of running chat. If you want to create a new chat, then you should run this:

$ python3 main.py [--create] [--recv-port R]

But if you want to join in existing chat, then you should know IP and connection port of a host sitting in this chat. Also you have tospecify port for receiving messages. When you know all this stuff then run next:

$ python3 main.py [-h] [--create] [--host HOST] [--port PORT]               [--recv-port RECV_PORT] [--gui] [--dis-enc]

To start typing any command you should at firstpress "enter"Below is placed example of creating a new chat

$ python3 main.py --create --recv-port 8080[*] Please, specify your username(a-zA-Z_.):> merrychap[*] Specify your root pathfor storing files:> /home/merrychap/Desktop/fluffychat('192.168.0.102', 8080)Type"@help"for list of commands with the descriptio[*] Enter command:> @help======================================Type commands with @ on the left side of a command.List of commands:+help: Shows this output+ room"room_name": Switches to the room message mode. + add_user:"username""room_name"+ users: Shows online users.+ create_room"roomname": Creates new room. + user"username": Switches to the user message mode. + change_root_path"root path": Changes the directory of storing files+ change_visibility: Changes your visibilityin the chat+ remove_room"roomname": Removes created room.+ username"username": Changes the current username. +exit: Closes chat.+ rooms: Shows available rooms.======================================

The next example is connecting to the existing chat.
