Interrupt Chat

"Realtime" interruptible chatting in the terminal

Idea

• what you say is observed by others as its produced
• people can interrupt one another
• what you say doesn't stay observable for long
• (so you have to listen and pay attention)

want

• Immediacy: see what you type right away
• Consistency: everyone should see the same thing
• Integrity: reports of what you typed don't alter

(some sort of "ici thoerem": can't have all of these)

• client terminal: raw mode without echo
• UDP sockets
• client sends each keypress with timestamp to server
• server checks timestamp, ignores old from client
• server updates state: recent chat, names, speaker
• server updates all clients with new state
• client checks timestamp, ignores old from server
• client updates terminal with new state

Live Demo...
