Re: IS IT POSSIBLE - A CHATROOM PROGRAM IN QB64?

Hi Ronblue77

it seems that in OldDostime it was possible using parallel port/modem to communicate between two computers.
Nowadays using internet and a router, a LAN wire or a wifi connenction it needs a TCP/IP program

here some links
http://www.petesqbsite.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=642 a thread on another website
http://father-time.tripod.com/roland.html a good program in .BAS for chat

https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=531811 another thread on another website
http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/someone42/programming.html  a library for TPC/IP in Qbasic

It maybe useful

yes it is possible. QB64 makes it pretty easy actually.

Do you mean text messaging between several LAN computers? If so, a few similar programs have been written in QB64.
Or do you mean text-to-computer communication over the Internet? It should also work, but I never saw it in operation.
Finally, again, there is a big difference between LOCALHOST mode and actual network traffic.
Look at Chris80194's work here, maybe it'll help.

Ron was speaking about making an IRC Chatroom program (or bot), and he's already answered his own question by basically adding an Eliza-style clone into the IRC bot demo which I posted on the forums elsewhere.  https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=1617.0

Stop by the IRC channel sometime, say "Hiyas" to Ron, and ask him to load his little Rachel-bot77 so you can play around and chat with her.  I'm certain both of them would love the company.  ;)

I am sorry to report that Ron has deleted his account here at forum and plans to devote his time to writing.

He has asked me to pass this message to all of you:

Rather strange that Ron should want to delete his account "because of other activities".  I should think when the coding bug is upon us, it is certainly possible to find time to do this creative thing, but Fellippe does not exercise any contractual relationship!  Anybody can contribute at any time.

Ron was certainly not a "one-hit wonder" here, though we notice that some of the members certainly are: after one contribution (usually a specific project request for assistance) we never see them again.  Should our leadership team remove such accounts after, say, 18 months inactivity?  (Felllippe has got very little to do with his time, so this is my effort to put a little work his way!!).

I was wondering what happened to ron77. He used to be in #qb64 all the time...
Well it certainly got less active after he left, thats for sure.

It can be that after some time he comes back to talk or even to code Qb64.
