Title: sfchat - a class for adding client/server in-game chat
Post by: fallahn on January 25, 2013, 07:00:49 pm
The subject says it all really: I've basically been working on a class which can be included in a network game to let players talk to each other. Currently working features are:

IRC style commands like /me /nick /connect
Team filtering so messages can be global or private to team members
Logging to text file - both client and server side
Easy to add to an existing project, with just one instance and a few function calls

I've a blog post here (http://trederia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/sfchat-clientserver-chat-class-for-sfml.html) which explains a bit about how it works, and I've created a project for it on Google code github (https://github.com/fallahn/sfchat). It's not thoroughly tested yet so any bugs or feedback would be appreciated, thanks. I hope someone finds this useful!
