WiFiChat is a program, which allows connecting several pocket PCS so that when you draw with stylus on one screen, your drawing appears on all connected computers. This is much like standart Notes application but the main difference is that your drawing is seen on all connected pocket PCS. Also a simple text chat is implemented between connected computers.
With WiFiChat you can:
* draw on screen of your Pocket PC lines of different colors and different width
* make your drawing be seen at your friends' Pocket PCS in realtime!
Your friends can also draw at the same time and each participant of your virtual drawing session will see what everybody draws in realtime.
* save what you have drawn in the most common bitmap file format (BMP)
* hold a text chat conference session
* ADD unlimited number of blackboards to draw on them
Almost every communication application has client-server architecture. That means that one of the participants should become server and start receiving connections and others should connect to him. So works WiFi Chat and WiFiChat is VERY easy to use! All participants should be on the same tcpip network. This is no matter how they are connected: either they are connected to the same wifi access point or they have established adhoc wifi connection with each other or even they can be connected by means of Bluetooth (Bluetooth Private Access Network should be set up. Search 'bluetooth PAN' on google for that). Server and client logic are implemented in one WiFiChat application. So one participant should press 'Wait For Connection' button, then connect to itself (its ip should already be typed into the corresponding field), while the others should just type server ip and press 'Connect' button. That's all! You can ADD new drawing boards and save current board picture in 'Blackboard' menu. Pictures are saved in 'My Documents' folder and have names like 'wifichat###.BMP' where ### is number.
