cHat

This is a simple chat client with video and audio chat options.

It is currently early alpha and requires two dynamic libraries to be installed:

• OpenCV --> http://opencv.org
• PortAudio --> http://www.portaudio.com

The whole thing is written in C and should compile on any system with those libraries installed.

Compile chat client (chat) with gcc chat.c -o chat -lncurses -portaudio `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`

Compile server (chatd) with gcc chatd.c -o chatd

Compile video server (chatd-vid) with gcc chatd-video.c -o chatd-vid

==== Plans

• Eliminate hardcoded IPs (it was made a hackathon, give us a break)
• Stabilize video refreshing
• Standardize to P2P (already done in audio)
• Write a standardized protocol for sending color data along with image data
• Responsive video display
• Decentralized userbase/discovery
• Encryption
