Page of Talking Heads

Welcome to the talking heads!
This applet provides a multi-user, cartoon-style chatting environment. The paricipants may share their words across the network using multiple rooms, make faces(:-) and dynamically change the look of a room. Apart of its entertainment values it presents the smoothest animation we have ever seen to be done by Java. It hides also very powerful and stable server written entirely in Java. That was a hard work, but we had a lot of fun playing with this! See you in the rooms!

• At the beginning choose either existing room or establish a new one and wait for participants. In this case specify the room name.
• The rooms are refreshed automatically. You can also do it manually by pressing the "Refresh" button. "OK" button takes you to the chosen room, and "Exit" button terminates the applet.
• You can specify any valid URL to use for your image. Server will find it and broadcast to everybody. In case the URL is bad server will provide you with a default image.
• To change the position of a user simply drag it with a mouse.
• The "Invitation" button allows to send the invitation e-mail. You have to specify the receiver's e-mail and program will compose the message automatically.
• You can see what have been said in the History window. To see it click History show. To hide - History hide. (that's easy)
• In case of problems with display just click the "Refresh" button.
• And that's all. Use it and have fun!
