Chatte

This is a tiny chat server and client built in Ruby.

This was written to learn to use sockets in Ruby and probably should not be used in a production environment.

How to run

I tested this on Ruby 1.9.2. You probably need that or a more recent version for this to work.

Run the server:

$ ruby server.rb 1234
Starting Chatte server. Listening for connections on port 1234...

Then run the client:

$ ruby client.rb localhost 1234
Enter your nickname:
andmej
Connecting...
andmej just joined the chatte

Then chatte freely.

What's in a name?

Chatte means pussy in French.
