Codename IRCat (Sometimes referred as IRCat although that is the name of a sample code for IRC) is a modular IRCd (Internet Relay Chat Daemon or simply, IRC server software) software written in Python to study RFC 1459 and IRCv3 and implement both in Python, it is one of Swee's most successful and still maintained software.
A new Beginning
Codename IRCat is the start of a "new beginning" of Swee's programming path as he begins to mostly make software for TCP-based protocols.
Codename IRCat started as a test TCP server Swee wrote called "Internet Relay Cats," he loaded it up on HexChat and decided to work around the prompts HexChat gave to the TCP server. Later finding the RFC 1459 document and expanding the server.
Swee Net
SweeNet (A.K.A Try IRCat) is home of Codename IRCat's core & module testing, its server details and a The Lounge web chat shown in the "try" page on ircat.xyz.
