Instant Messangers
 

Ok I was wondering if anyone knew what scripting language I would need to learn/use to make a chat instant messager like AIM or YIM. Not a chat room. just in instant messanger.

Thanks Arbitus

ever tried C#? i've seen this thing that integrated a forum with a program and every one on the forum can IM each other through that program, and it was done in C#

PS: that WOULD only limite windows use tho

Well is C# an easyer or harder version of C++? I want to make own IM that people will have to download and install (not for a forum for winbdows just like AIM and YIM.) Thanks

C# is just an "enhanced" version cracked up by microsoft based on the .NET frameworks, not nessesarily Harder or easier

I made an AIM client in VB....all it really does it log on, but it shows proof of concept.

sounds like some1 wants to troj some1

knight... it's all bout trojans with you isn' it? :P

oh yeah, you cant do it without them...

Speaking of trojans, anyone want a copy of whyteSpy?

lol whytespy, did you finish the new one yet?

Almost Dustin, almost...

whats whytespy?

Well I know a small version of the story, mantra knows the full thing. We have a teacher, Mr.White. He make a trojan/virus named whytespy and put it on comps at our school. If I am wrong or left some good stuff out, mantra will correct me.

Sounds like a cool teacher. But he could get fired. Tell him to becaful.

No no, he means I put the trojan all over Mr. White's computer...its my trojan.

yeah mantra did it lol, and named it after our teacher... sorry for the confusion

holy shit, thats a big difference. i tryed subseven at my school computers i got this *book of IP's that is awesome i got people who i just fuck with any time i want :noid:

omg you people have a LOT of free time lol

free time has nothing to do with it. Its not hard if you know what you are doing.

I'm brining this thread back up, for good reasons

1. Mantralord seems to be knownledgable of VB
2. I need help with it

So anyway... an AIM client in VB... but that utlilizes the AIM protocol... I made just an IP to IP based IM thing... I'm trying to integrate multi-user... any idea?

you know how to use winsock arrays?

yeah I'm using control arrays to do that... but once i'm finished that i'm gonna see how to use the AIM protocol with winsock :)

u can do it in c...

networking libraries u could look up if u wanted...

(unix)
sys/socket.h
arpa/inet.h

(windows)
winsock.h

I still have that AIM logon from VB code if anyone needs it.

im learnign c++ at school...we are still in input/output coz the fag teacher taught us binary and base convertion for 2 weeks, which we could have easily done in a calculator.........and then he gave us a test and everyone failed.....he gave us retake and the highests core was 75....i got a 68

I loved breaking the curve at programming class...I would always score 100 on tests, and the next highest grade was like a 72 or something. I always thought of it as my personal punishment for the idiots in the class...muhahahaha.

Send it to randuin at randuin dot com if you will :) Thanks!

okee dokee.

Unfortunately, CS at my school just wasn't designed for those who had no clue how computers worked. My 1st year, there was a group of people who excelled, and everyone else did horribly. Personally, I started turning in Windowed apps instead of console apps out of boredom.

When I started CS1 (Beginning C++), I already knew BASIC, Turbo Pascal, and x86 assembly, not to mention experience with macro programming and CASIO and TI calculator programming and had many years of programming experience, so it was a blowoff course for me. The thing is that the hardest part about learning your first programming language is learning what to tell the computer to get it to do what you want. By the third or fourth, you quickly reallize that the only real differences between languages is the syntax: how you tell the computer what you tell it.

well...lisp and assembly seem to differ in reasoning a bit from other languages...but yea all the other languages seem more or less the same except for syntax.
