LÖVE

This is the first time I've ever made anything like this! It's basically a text chat room for whoever joins.

It's pretty bare bones, but I just wanted to see if I could do it.

Start the client, and type these commands to join the server running on my computer:
/ip 184.65.76.129
/connect

For love 0.9.0

/help doesn't work - is there a way to show all available commands and all online users?

No, I just made it to talk with my friends and to see if I could make it, the only available commands are:
/ip x.x.x.x:port
/connect
/name name

If you're hosting the server you can see how many clients are connected, but names are done client side (this is bad, I know)

On a side note, I didn't notice the post about the IRC API, he even said it was bare bones o.o
