LocalChat

An application that allows you to chat with others in LAN.
Also a Godot network system practice
Made with Godot 4 Mono

I made this because i want to chat with my classmates in information technology class across the classroom without public network enabled.
My teachers are really fond of unplugging the network cable between switcher and the router.
