About

In my sophomore year, I wanted to explore GUI programming in Python and as a result I built this project where I also worked with sockets for the first time.

Aim

The objective of this project was to build a broadcast chat room with GUI that allowed communicating over LAN.

Features

- Server

• Monitors connection statuses of all clients
• Broadcasts messages to all clients in the room
• Notifies all clients whenever a client joins/exits the room

- Client

• Can have multiple clients in the chat room
• Can connect/disconnect at any time

What I learned

This was my first (and the only time, so far) where I worked with GUI in Python. It was also the first time when I learned to connect to a database using Python (the username and passwords you see in the images were actually being stored in a database).

All in all, it was really fun!
