Inspiration
Since we all have used social media to stay connected with our friends during the lockdown, we thought it would be cool to build our own texting application.
What it does
Our program, for now, implements the basic functionality of a chatting application by allowing its users to send and receive messages.
How we built it
We built this project using Java as our programming language, and utilized socket programming for the back end and GUI for the front end.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge we ran into was not being able to combine the front end and the back end, which still remains an issue we need to resolve.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
As first-time hackers, we are all proud of what we learned and created in these 48 hours. Our program still requires the combination of front end and back end, however, they work very well individually.
What we learned
Through this hackathon, we learned a lot of new concepts related to programming, like socket programming and GUI. We also learned a lot about working in teams as software developers and what it takes to create a successful project.
What's next for Multiple Client Server Chat Program
The next steps for our program would be to combine the front end and back end so that they work together. Eventually, we hope to use the cloud to host our server to which clients can connect remotely.
