Last night I worked more on the GUI client. I am starting to refer to it this way as it no longer is specifically Windows or Linux, it is now properly a multiplatform client with a GUI on the front.

After the previous post, I finally got around to making the code that receives the characters from the network work properly on both platforms. The Read function reads at one character at a time and now it puts the characters directly into a wxString, previously there was an interim step where the characters were put into a large character array which was later converted to a string. The conversion worked differently between Windows and Linux. This new way performs in exactly the same fashion between both platforms, and at some point I will be exploring mac compilation just to prove to myself that it's possible.
