Free 3d chat software for linux

Voc is a stream-chat engine which is designed to work on high-loaded chat-servers. It is written in PHP, but uses Perl or C++ for Voc-daemon -- the special program to handle multiple user-connections. With Voc you can make a chat that will serve many conversations simultanously. And its html-based, so your chatters can use it from almost any browser.
The Voc-engine includes a lot of features so it will be interested not only for a big chat owners.
Whats so special about Voc-engine?
There are 2 classes of html-chats. Classic-type, with refreshing messages-window, And stream-type.
Refresh-type is known to everybody, so lets think about streams. What is the common way to introduce such functionality? Webmasters make cgi-script (PHP-script, jsp-srcpt, e.t.c) which checks for new messages every second (2,3...) and prints something to the client. Of course, you need one instance of the script for each client. Now calculate how many data-requests you need to process every second... At least two for each client -- get messages, get users-list.
Also dont forget about memory and CPU usage. For instance, if you have PHP-scripts and PHP is compiled as an Apache-module, be ready to spend 5 Mbytes of memory and 0.1-1% of CPU for each client (only for messages-window).Multiple it to number of users online.
Do you still want to use such scripts?
Is there any solutions? I guess, yes -- try Voodoo chat. It uses Perl- or C++-daemon which processes users-requests to a messages list. And you need just one daemon for all clients. This daemon takes approx. 10 Mbytes of memory for 100 users. CPU usage is also small (of course it depends on your CPU, i.e. for 100 users online it is 0.5% of Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz). Do you see the difference now?
Main features:
- Daemon-stream type (recommended)
- Classic-type (with refreshes)
- PHP-stream script (read text above and use this type only when you have less then 20 simultaneous visitors and cannot use daemon-type)

Perl Chat is a project that consists of a client and a server, both written in perl.

The goal of this project is to create a chat server that can be used on smaller networks such as a college campus or a business network.

Both the client and the server are written in Perl, and the client uses the Tk module to generate its GUI.

Installation:

First of all you need a working version of Perl. Preferably 5.6 but 5.005X should also work fine. For versions of Perl Chat < 0.1.0 you will need to compile Perl with Threads. (Keep in mind that Threads are still experimental) I designed this program with Perl 5.6.0 which can be found HERE.

You will need to read the installation instructions to compile it with Threads. I advise anyone who is doing this to install this new version of perl into /usr/local/ so as to not overwrite your old perl. Then by changing the first line of the script you can toggle between the different installs of perl.

Naken Chat is a public chat server written in C (originally in Java). Naken Chat project allows multiple people to connect to it and talk simultaneously to each other or in private messages.
The goal of Naken Chat is to be as small and fast as possible using the least amount of your computers memory with the most amount of features. The current size of the Naken Chat binary on a Linux box is about 38k after being "stripped".
Ive fully tested this program on FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, Windows 98 and XP, and MacOSX.
The Naken Chat server can be connected to through many different client programs including telnet, a Java applet, Windows clients, and J2ME Naken Chat Client for mobile phones.

RobChat is an XML/HTTP chat script. It features multiple users, automatic updates without reloading, IE and Mozilla support, and a "whos online" window.

RobChat has the look and feel of a client-side chat client, but is written entirely in XML/HTTP, Javascript, and PHP.

MOHA Chat is a chat solution which comes with a intuitive Web client and can run on most shared hosts. MOHA Chat consumes fewer resources on the server side and is fast on the client side.

The project uses AJAX to retrieve the chat messages and user status. The client polls the server at regular intervals. It currently supports only one-to-one chatting with the Web client. The Web client encrypts messages using a key unique to the client when sending a message to the server and vice versa.

IoChatto is a chat client which you can use in the JXTA platform.

Its interface is similar to many IRC chat clients, but you can have presence information for every channel, and its design is fully decentralized.
