LÖVE

Here's a little proof-of-concept chat program I made a little while back while learning to use LuaSocket. Thanks goes to bartbes for some help understanding the socket lib. Feel free to pick it apart to learn a few things yourself.

I'll be hosting a server at the default IP if anyone wants to try and connect. I'm not 100% sure it will work on my connection but it's worth a shot.

Freezes on start up, draws the frame then becomes unresponsive.

Freezes when starting or attempting a connection? Also are you on 0.7.2 or 0.8.0? I've not tested with the latter.

On 0.7.2, freezes when I try to connect

I think it is safe to say Ensayia's server doesn't work. None of us can connect to it. Maybe someone else host a server and see if we can connect?

It freezes for me, thus I cannot select a server to connect to.

Apologies for going somewhat OT, but how does one go about aquiring (ie renting) a friendly server to run lua on?

You could probably get a free shell account to run lua on.

Does it freeze after you press connect or as soon as you start the program without touching anything? I know that it likes to freeze on occasion with connection issues, I've not worked out a solution for that yet.

Hopefully sometime in the near future I can get a place to host the server so everyone can see it in action.

if you can give me a server file, I can host it on my server.
