Deadpool

Let's first answer the elephant in the room: Why did I name it Deadpool? Well, because he's my favourite Anti-Hero, although arguably, Loki is a close second.

What is it?

As you should know, Deadpool is known as the "Merc with a mouth" and it would make sense for him to have his very own chat-app to talk to (*cough* annoy *cough*) people (*cough* Wolverine *cough*) if and when needed. Aaaaaand it needs to be fast, so I wrote it in C++. No other reason. Absolutely none. Not at all because I am in a C++ lunatic phase right now.

How to use it?

• Dependancies

sudo apt install libboost-all-dev

• Clone

git clone [email protected]:Jadit19/Deadpool.git
cd Deadpool

• Build

chmod +x ./build.sh

At this point, something like this should be visible on your screen (if not, open up an issue):

• Run server

./build/server/server

• Run client(s)

./build/client/client

How to exit?

Unlike Vim, this can be exited pretty cleanly:

• \q to just quit.
• \sq to save and quit.
