- Chat client demo
- ================
- What's this?
- ------------
- - A chat client, modeled as a statechart interacting with native Python code (in 'lib').
- - A matching chat server, ad-hoc implemented in small python script.
- Specification of the client's behavior can be found here:
- http://msdl.cs.mcgill.ca/people/hv/teaching/MoSIS/assignments/Statecharts
- Running
- -------
- To start the server:
- python3 run_server.py 9000
- where '9000' is the desired listening port.
- To launch the client (in another terminal):
- python3 run_client.py
- The client has two servers hardcoded to which it will attempt to connect in round-robin fashion:
- localhost:9000
- localhost:9001
- Launch multiple clients to test the "chat" functionality :)
- Doesn't matter which is launched first: client or server. Try to stop a server (Ctrl+C, SIGINT) with connected clients and see how the clients detect a lost connetion. Re-launch the server and watch them re-connect (and re-join the room they were in, thank God for history states!).
- Hint: Set the environment variable SCCDDEBUG=1 to get insight into the transitions and steps being made.
