## Overview

YouChaeTalk is a Java Swing chat-room application using socket communication and multithreading. A user connects with an ID, views users and rooms, creates or joins a room, and exchanges room messages or private notes; the server manages connected users, room membership, and broadcasts. The README also documents stacked-panel navigation, duplicate checks, and empty-room cleanup. The excerpts show the principal client/server protocol and an older `chatting_ref` implementation; the legacy client’s details and some newer client handlers were only partially sampled.

Main entry points: [`SocketNetworkingChatting/src/SodamiChat/Client.java`](https://github.com/sodamkimkim/javasocketnetworking_youcheatalk/blob/main/SocketNetworkingChatting/src/SodamiChat/Client.java) (Swing client), [`SocketNetworkingChatting/src/SodamiChat/Server.java`](https://github.com/sodamkimkim/javasocketnetworking_youcheatalk/blob/main/SocketNetworkingChatting/src/SodamiChat/Server.java) (Protocol dispatch), [`SocketNetworkingChatting/src/chatting_ref/Client.java`](https://github.com/sodamkimkim/javasocketnetworking_youcheatalk/blob/main/SocketNetworkingChatting/src/chatting_ref/Client.java) (Legacy Swing client), [`SocketNetworkingChatting/src/chatting_ref/Server.java`](https://github.com/sodamkimkim/javasocketnetworking_youcheatalk/blob/main/SocketNetworkingChatting/src/chatting_ref/Server.java) (Legacy socket server)
