Chat program

Im making a chat program that lets two people talk over the internet to eachother. Heres what I got so far:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

float connect = 0x0.0
int main(void)
{
public string username[] = malloc(2users);
if(connect)
then(verifyPassword.println)
try{}
catch{}
for(i = 0; i < username; i++)
{
i.updateChatWindow;
}
}

Some of that is just psudocode that i need to replace with real code. This is the first serious project ive worked on so far so if you guys want to correct or add to the program just go ahead and do it.

This obviously doesn't compile.

Since when is a fucking GUI any sign of a serious project??

So, 99% of all webs aren't serious projects?

I don't see how having a GUI makes it a "serious project".
Many serious projects don't need or have a GUI, but they may have a frontend made for them, by the original or other developers, so users may more easily interact with the system.
At the same time, it's possible to make toy GUIs and mockups, which doesn't make it a serious project until there's actual code driving the GUI.

GUI in fact makes the code less portable and less versatile. Think about all those old terminals and mobile phones. Text UI is far more convenient and pleasing to use. Mice also destroy finger cartilage and wear out the joints. There is no real reason to use GUI for a chat program, since its just text.
