Description In this project, you will be implementing a very simple chat client. I will have a server running that you will connect to for testing your client. In this project, both the server and client will communicate using UTF-8 text. The server will work as follows: the first line you send will be stored by the server as your user name. If it is already in use, the server will respond “Name in use.” and close the connection. After connecting and providing a name, any line you send to the server will be broadcast to all connected clients with a timestamp and the sender’s username. Your client should run either a loop or a separate thread1 that reads messages from the server and displays them. You can also create a graphical user interface if you desire. You do not have to create the server program. You just have to create the client program and connect to the existing server. If you want, you can try to replicate the server’s actions and create your own server as well, but this is not required. The server will be running on codebank.xyz on port 38001.
