Group chats. Note: we assume everyone in the chat trusts each other. These group chats work by temporarily adding the 4 "closest" people defined by a distance function in group.c in order to form a circle of connected peers. These peers then relay messages to each other. A friend invites another friend to a group chat by sending them an invite packet. The friend either ignores the invite or responds with a response packet if he wants to join the chat. The friend invite contains the type of groupchat (text only, A/V) the friend is being invited to. TODO(irungentoo): write more of this. ## Protocol Invite packets: ### Invite packet: ``` [uint8_t id 96][uint8_t id 0][uint16_t group chat number][33 bytes group chat identifier[1 byte type][32 bytes id]] ``` ### Response packet ``` [uint8_t id 96][uint8_t id 1][uint16_t group chat number(local)][uint16_t group chat number to join][33 bytes group chat identifier[1 byte type][32 bytes id]] ``` ### Peer online packet: ``` [uint8_t id 97][uint16_t group chat number (local)][33 bytes group chat identifier[1 byte type][32 bytes id]] ``` ### Peer leave packet: ``` [uint8_t id 98][uint16_t group chat number][uint8_t id 1] ``` ### Peer query packet: ``` [uint8_t id 98][uint16_t group chat number][uint8_t id 8] ``` ### Peer response packet: ``` [uint8_t id 98][uint16_t group chat number][uint8_t id 9][Repeated times number of peers: [uint16_t peer num][uint8_t 32bytes real public key][uint8_t 32bytes temp DHT public key][uint8_t name length][name]] ``` ### Title response packet: ``` [uint8_t id 98][uint16_t group chat number][uint8_t id 10][title] ``` ### Message packets: ``` [uint8_t id 99][uint16_t group chat number][uint16_t peer number][uint32_t message number][uint8_t with a value representing id of message][data] ``` ### Lossy Message packets: ``` [uint8_t id 199][uint16_t group chat number][uint16_t peer number][uint16_t message number][uint8_t with a value representing id of message][data] ``` ## Group chat types: - 0: text - 1: AV Note: the message number is increased by 1 for each sent message. ## message ids: ### 0 - ping sent every ~60 seconds by every peer. No data. ### 16 - new_peer Tell everyone about a new peer in the chat. ``` [uint16_t peer_num][uint8_t 32bytes real public key][uint8_t 32bytes temp DHT public key] ``` ### 17 - kill_peer ``` [uint16_t peer_num] ``` ### 48 - name change ``` [uint8_t name[namelen]] ``` ### 49 - groupchat title change ``` [uint8_t title[titlelen]] ``` ### 64 - chat message ``` [uint8_t message[messagelen]] ``` ### 65 - action (/me) ``` [uint8_t message[messagelen]] ```
