  Make Connections and friends as you eat !

Inspiration

I used to feel lonely while eating in the dining court but was too afraid and shy to ask others if I could sit with them because I was worried about interfering with their privacy.

What it does

A chat messaging which lets students create account and tell others they are available and others may join them.

How we built it

The project was based on Client-server architecture which features a heavy server and light client with processing and storing files on server side. A new thread was spawned for each client so that they were independent of each other.

Challenges we ran into

It was challenging to send all the messages received from the client to other clients so that they can display it on their GUIs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The project fulfilled its main purpose that users can create accounts and then send messages flawlessly.

What we learned

It is important to think about the ideas as clearly as possible before starting working and be patient while debugging.

What's next for DineTogether

We want to enhance the java application further and convert it into a webpage and launch it on Purdue campus and then on other college campuses.
