Chat is a very simple console application to provide a direct communication between two computers in the same peer to peer environment.
It uses UDP sockets, the winsock api and C library calls and is tested on Windows XP on my home network as my work also.
I had it unfinished on my hard disk for quite some time.

Command line parameters syntax like this: listen_port destination_machine destination_port

Example using hostnames.
on my laptop: chat 1024 desktop 1025
on my pc: chat 1025 laptop 1024

Example using IP address.
on my laptop: chat 1024 192.168.1.102 1025
on my pc: chat 1025 192.168.1.101 1024

Oh, so nice ! BTW can you write more simple code without command line args and without proc-s ? just like when conencted to wait for recive or send and client/server same like that. thank you! Smile

Hi,

Overflowz, __getmainargs function provides a simple way to get the command line parameters.
As better alternatives see Windows API functions GetCommandLine or CommandLineToArgvW
Search fasm board for examples or even more simple winsock samples.

edfed i don't know much about IRC, never used it.

A simple Winsock Multi-User Console Chat Server.
Made for Windows XP, tested with telnet.exe, putty client will also work.
It can handle backspace, users can change their names, it prints a user-list. Program is inspired from a C++ sample.
The listening port can be passed as a command line argument, the default port is 23. Esc stops the server.
Despite my lame code which is written in three days, it works well.

When working on such projects consider using multi-threaded libraries with callback support (Windows has one for GUI but kind of sucks).

Example.

Make a library that can be re-used (duh)

Pseudo code
Code:

; import winsock

; Define our interface here. Just a struct

struct ISocketEvent
         onDataArrival   dd ? ; implement as proc onDataArrival, handle, lpData, dwSize
         onClientReady dd ? ; implement as proc onClientReady, handle, lpData, lpdwSize   ; return data to send and size in the last two parameters. (See below)
         onError           dd ? ; implement as proc onError, dwCode, pszDecription
         onConnect      dd ? ; implement as proc onConnect, handle, pszRemoteHost, dwPort
         onDisconnect   dd ? ; implement as proc onDisconnect, handle
ends

; Object identifiers
struct  SocketObject
          .socket   dd 0             ; socket handle
          .sai        sockaddr_in 
          .stop      dd 1             ; connection state (closed, this stops the loop)
          .ISocketEventPtr         ; the callback table pointer to user functions
endp


; impl

proc Startup
        ... winsock initialization here
endp 

/// Returns a handle (Basically a pointer to SocketObject struct)
proc Connect pszIP_or_DNS, port, iCallbackPtr

 
      handle =    memalloc SocketObject.Size

      handle.sai.port = port;
      handle.ISocketEventPtr = iCallbackPtr

      ... start connection thread
      CreateThread.. ConnectionThread, handle

      return handle
endp
proc ConnectionThread, handle
        ..winsock connection functions here


         handle.socket = socket(...);
           .. if error call  handle.ISocketEventPtr.onError, socket_error_code, "Custom or system description"

        .. if connection made
             call  handle.ISocketEventPtr.onConnect, handle, pszHostName, port
                          
             CreateThread( MonitorThread, handle )

       .. if not
             call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onError, socket_error_code, "Custom or system description"

       .. this thread exits
endp


/// Returns a handle (Basically a pointer to SocketObject struct)
proc Listen, port, iCallbackPtr
              handle = memalloc , SocketObject.Size

              handle.sai.port = port
              handle.ISocketEventPtr = iCallbackPtr

             // start listening thread
endp

proc ListenThread, handle
         while handle.stop = false
                 // you know the drill here boys
         end while
endp

proc MonitorThread, handle

      while handle.stop = false

      fd_set read_set.
      fd_set write_set.
      fd_set error_set.

      // check states here

      ..if(read_set)
         dwBytes = 0
         ioctlsocket(handle.socket, FIONREAD, dwBytes); .. available bytes to read
         
         buffer = memalloc dwBytes
         .. if not
             call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onError, custom_error_code, "Custom or system description"

         ..else
             recv(handle.socket, buffer, dwBytes)
             .. if not 
                 call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onError, socket_error_code, "Custom or system description"
             .. else
                 call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onDataAvailable, handle, buffer, dwBytes
                    if(buffer != null)    ; in case user did something stupid with the buffer
                         memfree(buffer)
                

      .. if(write_set)
          dwSize = 0
          lpBuffer= 0
          buffer = call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onClientReady, handle, buffer, dwSize

         if(buffer != null and dwSize > 0 )
            send(handle.socket, buffer, dwSize);

         .. if not
             call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onError, socket_error_code, "Custom or system description"

      if(error_set)
           get error code
            call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onError, socket_error_code, "Custom or system description"

      // check MSDN for more on how to check for a closed/disconnected socket
      if(read_set && <some other byte checks>)
           call handle.ISocketEventPtr.onDisconnected, handle
           exit here
           break;

         // pause or sleep here

      end while

        closesocket handle.socket
endp

proc FreeHandle, handle
         memfree, handle
endp

proc Close, handle
        handle.stop = true // this will stop the thread
endp

; exports

Startup
Connect
Listen
Send
Close
FreeHandle
    




Using it
Code:

; setup GUI
myGui.setup;

libSocket.Statup


proc onDataArrival, handle, bytes, size
         if(handle = my_handle)  ; of course you'd know how to do this
           myGui.RichEdit.Text.Append(bytes)
endp

proc onDisconnect
         myGui.Button.Connect.Enabled = true;
endp

my_handle dd 0
proc myGui.button.Connent.Click
          host = myGui.Edit.Host.Text
          port = int( myGui.Edit.Port.Text )
           my_handle = libSOcket.Connect, host, port
endp

    


Well that's about it. Sorry if it seems like nonsense but someone one day will find it useful. I'm currently developing on android and I'm using threads quite extensively so I often use interfaces to make things flow better other than having to wait for a function/method to return.

@typedef no, it doesn't seem nonsense, suggestions and pseudocode are welcome.
I do have a multi-user chat program on which i used threads but is left unfinished.
I have little reusable code in asm, programs above are more like simple learning excercises, practicing C/C++ and asm simultaneously.

Ansi colors were added, exploited the fact that clients like telnet.exe are forgiving, and overlook that proper use requires an exchanging information first. Also a server log added.
Here you are, sorry for any inconvenience.


Silent Edit
I started re-writing the chat program. I upload new sources as soon as possible.
