<h1>WinChat</h1>
<p>
WinChat is a simple chat application for Windows (hence the name).
I started this project to get a grasp of the network programming I would need to know if I were to add multiplayer support to Nothin' Fancy. The application has few features, but everything is done at a low level, only using old Win32 APIs to get the job done.
You can download the current version (1.0.0) <a href="WinChat.zip" class="notransition">here</a>.
As a side note, because I do not have a "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_signing" class="notransition">code signing certificate</a>," Windows Security and SmartScreen might not let you run the program without <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SmartScreen#:~:text=if%20the%20program%20does%20not%20have%20an%20established%20good%20reputation%2C%20the%20user%20is%20alerted%20that%20running%20the%20program%20may%20harm%20their%20computer." class="notransition">asking you if you are sure</a>.
