A starter project that implements a basic multi-threaded server and client handling code.

Download this project, import into your IDE of choice, and run TelnetServer.main() to start the server. Alternatively, set your build settings to create an application with the TelnetServer.main() entry point.

Note: you can specify the listening port in the TelnetServer class.

To connect from a terminal, type telnet [server.ip.addr.ess] [portNum] or use a telnet client to connect to your IP and the specified port.

• TelnetServer: The main() entry point into the telnet server. Creates a MultiThreadedServer thread.
• MultiThreadedServer: Starts listening on the specified port for new connections. Creates new Client objects for each connection.
• Client: Main class to interface with a client. Contains method stubs for handling new connections, disconnects, and receiving/sending text. This will be your direct way to interface with clients.
• ClientRunnable: Parent class for Client, allows for multiple clients to connect at a time.

All code is using Java standard libraries, clients can access the server via standard terminals with telnet installed.

• MultiThreadedServer - Original reference for the MultiThreadedServer and UserRunnable classes.
• MessageFormatter - Colors and Text Format for Messages

Submission rules TBD. Will require a GitHub account.

Git should be used for versioning in this project.
