Hey,
I know I am behind a firewall or something similar (dunno exactly what; I know that I cannot play online games and I have trouble accessing ports other than the standard http one).
At any rate, clicking the "server" button caused your program to hang (I guess it is waiting infinitely for connection).
It would be nice if you have some timeout, also if you can separate the GUI from the networking threads, also inform user of failures...
I guess I am asking too much for an educational project like yours... Two thumbs up mate! You appear to be one of the most productive posters on this forum... waiting to hear about your first real (=paid) project!

Sorry about that, my server was down.
The server problem is just that. A problem. I am using blocking sockets, and I'm going to switch the connection phase to asynchronous, so I don't have to kill the socket with a secondary thread to kill the attempted connection...
Do you think I should add the connection timeout in a menu item? I plan on adding a toolbar at the top with the norms (file, edit, etc) and I definitely need to add some ease of use features!
Not at all! I really appreciate the feedback! Haha thank you *sheepish
I can't wait to release one!!
