I hadn't done this for the "fun" code, yet. Also, we should include system headers after our own headers. "In general, a module should be implemented by one or more .cpp files. Each of these .cpp files should include the header that defines their interface first. This ensures that all of the dependences of the module header have been properly added to the module header itself, and are not implicit. System headers should be included after user headers for a translation unit." -- http://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#a-public-header-file-is-a-module |

Q&A:
What is Tox?
Tox is a fully encrypted, censor resistant, private, distributed network library with a focus on personal communications.
No, really, what's Tox?
It's a VERY secure Instant Messenger that supports Text, Audio/Video calls, group chats, audio group chats, and file transfers.
What are your goals with Tox?
We want Tox to be as simple as possible while remaining as secure as possible.
Toxcore Roadmap
This Roadmap is somewhat tentative, but should give you a good idea of where we're going, and where we've been.
Currently unsorted, the following is intended to function as a discussion guide to developers/contributors.
In Progress
- 100% unit testing
- Make toxcore stateless
- Allow a single toxcore instance to handle multiple keypairs
- Implement usable group chats
- Improve A/V implementation
- Multiple device support
- Consistent naming scheme throughout toxcore
Done
- Create Toxcore
- Create DHT
- Create Onion
- Implement Crypto
- Create Messenger

The Complex Stuff:
UDP vs. TCP
Tox must use UDP simply because hole punching with TCP is not as reliable. However, Tox does use TCP relays as a fallback if it encounters a firewall that prevents UDP hole punching.
Connecting & Communicating
Every peer is represented as a byte string (the public key [Tox ID] of the peer). By using torrent-style DHT, peers can find the IP of other peers by using their Tox ID. Once the IP is obtained, peers can initiate a secure connection with each other. Once the connection is made, peers can exchange messages, send files, start video chats, etc. using encrypted communications.
