Try looking at the source code to gaim, which is available at Sourceforge.

Well if this "MSN clone" is not available, you might still want to take a look at amsn or gaim.
This page is not about programming an MSN clone, but rather discusses said IM communication protocols. So it only gives you the basic recipe, not the ingredients. ;) You'll need to know some language that allows sockets, GUIs, threading, md5, etc. Thus, pretty much any language ;) I'd help you more, but with so little information about what you know and don't, I can't do much more. What language(s) do you know ? Which do you want to use to implement it ? |
There is a great resource at:
http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/index.php Although about the protocol for MSN, the forums contain some interesting discussions about all aspects of messaging. It's also where I got most of the info I needed when I made my own (now defunct due to protocol changes) msn client. |
