Sample applications


Purpose of these samples is to show you how easy one can use coid framework. We wrote sample http server and a chat with POP3 support.

Step-by-step documentation and complete beginner's example by Martin Lackner can be found here: first steps in linux, first steps in windows, example program and downloadable package example-src.


chat:
    Supports mutliple rooms, public / private / password protected rooms, animated gifs as smiles, changing font color and size, sending mails, one can ignore annoying users and the chat service has a builld in POP3 server, too. To make it portable, we used wxWindows GUI library. It does not support tray icons, text selection in html window and some other features that make using chat comfortable. It's not finished either, but it's usable. Service can run on both linux and windows, GUI has been tested only on windows.

    Chat service is running on our server, too, you can connect to it and discuss coid-related stuff with us. To do this, edit .chatrc file (created when you first run chat client) and change your nick (first string) and server address and port (second string in the file, enclosed in double quotes) to "62.168.66.120:44099".
When connected, enter room coid and if you are asked to enter password, type coid again.



httpserver:
    Small http server built as a COID service.


mud:
    MUD framework services. The framework provides means to connect through telnet or as a COID client, exports the hooks for a MUD core to process connection requests and messages, manages the client objects. Empty mud framework (without core) just echoes messages sent from one client to all other. These services are being used in the Stench of the Dead MUD.
