Hi there all, I really need help on this one, I went away for a wedding for a week and missed a week of work and now I have a practical due for 1:00 10 tomorrow and I got back today, but I managed to complete all of the programming but only to discover that it must now be done in UDP and mine is not, so could anyone help me out in converting this code into working UDP form? It will be very much appreciated

Kind Regards
Curtis

Is this thread the same as the other one?
One should be enough.

You'll probably get faster results if you hire a programmer. This forum is mostly for helping students learn java programming.

@Curt1337: No, no one here will convert the chat server that you copied directly from Rose India to UDP so you can turn it in as a work product.

As Norm said, hire a programmer if you want someone to do your work for you.
