TelnetChat

Description

A simple chat server in C++, using the telnet protocol.

Usage

To run the server, compile the source code (or use the precompiled binary, if it works for you) and run it. ./TelnetChat
This should start the server on port 12345.
You can then connect to the server using telnet:
telnet localhost 12345
You can also connect to the server from another computer on the same network, by replacing localhost with the server's IP address.

The server has a few basic commands:

• $help - Displays a list of commands.
• $color <color> - Allows user to pick from a list of colors for their username.
• $afk - Announces that the user is away from keyboard.
• $users - Displays a list of users currently connected to the server.
• $exit - Disconnects the user from the server.
