talk is a very simple, serverless chat program. Any number of people can join the chat - so long as they're in range of each other!

To run it, just type "talk Gopher", replacing Gopher with your own name - this is the nick that will be displayed to others when you talk.

It supports a few other /commands, all detailed in-game, just type "/help" to see a list!

+1 to you sir! Loving the IRC style

Excellent! Would there be any reason why it does not work on monitors? It just shows a blank screen.

[GopherAtl]

I didn't really consider monitor support; in a few places it uses term.native to bypass redirects, so those cases would not work if it were redirected to a monitor. I wouldn't have expected a blank screen, but I wouldn't have expected it to work properly, either. How would one chat with it running on a monitor, anyway? I guess you were just wanting to have a display of the chat in a public area that people could read without joining in?

Excellent Idea! Do you mind if i use and tweak it to my server?

[GopherAtl]

Hi! This is cool! I love it!

Well done, great program. Would you be willing to release the source code? I don't want to copy you, but I am working on something similar and am a little stuck. Thanks!

The code for the program can be found at the pastebin link in the original post.

Anyone in range? What happens if you have computers A, B, and C - where A is in range of B but not C and B is in range of both?

since c is in range of b then c can connect to a. so technically all u have to do is have the computers in range of 1 another to chat with one that is lets say, 2000 blocks away wich is out of range of it. for example computer a is 100 blocks away from b and b is 200 blocks away from d, since d is in range of b it can use b's range to connect to a, so d may be out of range of a but can still use b's range to connect to a.

banditleader: er, no. It is not so smart as that. This is not a relay chat. If B can reach A and C, but A and C can't reach each other, then B hears everyone, but A and C don't hear each other. This is obviously a bit crappy, but was also a deliberate choice to keep the program uber-simple, as per dan's (then) preferences for included programs, as I made it to submit as a treasure disk program.

It wouldn't be to terribly difficult to make a server-based version with the new routing system, once the current beta version of CC is released.

It was already stated that part of the program makes it impossible to run on a monitor without rewriting code. I do believe he wouldn't be mad if you make it work, however I don't think many people would help you out.

The "parallel.waitForAny(coRead,coMain)" solves everything in computercraft I think thanks a lot @GopherAtl !!

You can copy/paste this into the shell to download it.

pastebin get j6YjhWYp talk

I usually put the 'pastebin get' codes in CODE boxes because they are more obvious onscreen

No, this uses an in-game modem API that connects it to other in-game computers with modems. This doesn't work inter-server or anything like that. PSChat Reloaded does, though.
