Description

The Java Discord Clone is a chat application developed using Java Socket Programming. It aims to replicate some of the key functionalities of the popular Discord app. The application consists of three main sections: a server, a text graphic client, and a GUI client built with JavaFX.

The primary features of this Discord Clone include:

• User Management: Users can create accounts, add friends, and manage their contact lists.
• Server Creation: Users can create their own Discord servers, enabling them to establish dedicated communication channels.
• Room Creation: Within each server, users have the ability to create rooms for different topics or groups.
• Group Chat: Users can join rooms and engage in group conversations with other members.
• GUI Experience: The GUI client, developed using JavaFX, provides a user-friendly interface with features like pop-up notifications and sliding effects.

The Java Discord Clone provides a flexible and customizable platform for users to connect and communicate with friends and groups in a streamlined manner. Whether you're looking to chat with friends individually or participate in lively group discussions, this application offers the necessary tools to facilitate smooth and engaging conversations.
