Abstract - Usage of Smartphone is increasing day-to-day,

today people are using smartphones for chatting, calling,

browsing which helps to share information between people or

to a group, also for gaming which provide an entertainment

platform for people. It gives much entertainment to the users,

but most of the applications are designed for its own specific

purposes. The aim of the proposed system is mainly to design

an application which fully entertains the users by providing

two features( chatting and gaming) in a same platform, which

make the user to meet and interact with others who play same

game, And for those who want to do parallel chatting while

gaming. Along with entertainment the proposed system also

designed to increase IQ level of users, for that this system

provides some quiz games (containing general knowledge,

aptitude tricks, aptitude question…etc.).In this system, user

have the permission to add any game and the admin will

create a group for all( those who play that game). The users

who play same game will added to a global group created by

admin(Users can also create sub groups according to their

wish). G-chat application provide games which can be played

by challenging the co-players to defeat their high scores

1. INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, chatting and gaming are the most popular

entertaining part of smartphone. Children and adults are

more interested in these activities (chatting and gaming). It

provide entertainment and also help to spread message

among large group of people. In the currently available

applications, it is difficult to use both the chat and game at

the same time, so we design this new system.

G-chat app provide a single platform for both chatting and

gaming. In G-chat app, the user can share message,

information to people and play single or multiplayer game. A

person who visit this application is called Guest and once

the guest become a registered user, he can create his own

account to chat and play games as he/she likes. This

application is made user-friendly and convenient to such an

extent that the user is never required to type the same

information more than once, except password. It provide

entertainment to user for some time to recover from his/her

stress. It is a chat application with gaming, game provided

by this application is a quiz game, and user can also add

games to the application according to their wish. This

application provide full time entertainment and improve

thinking capability of users. This system capable to work in

web browser and as android system. There are three

modules user, guest and admin module, an admin can meets

all the needs of the users. Once the guest (user) becomes a

permanent user, he can create his own account and play

games.

1.1 Objective:

The application provide same platform both gaming and

chatting. User can chat at any time in the group or private

chat is also possible. The users can challenge the co-players

to defeat their scores, it will increase interest of the co-

players to play the game more actively. G-chat application

also provide quiz games which increases the thinking

capability and IQ level of the players .It facilitate

communication between users, which improve interaction

between the players.

1.2 Literature Survey

Kavitha. R, Rupali Wagh [1] opined that usage of Smartphone

increased more in the last five years. Presently there are lots

of applications available on the Android market for chatting

and information sharing. All these just share the message but

won't provide any message status like the message is seen or

not and if seen, it is accepted or not. In this paper, we

proposed a new application called as “Shary” an Android

based application developed using Android Kit Kat version

4.4. The main aim of this application is to share any last

minute updated information to a specific group and receive

the status of the messages. This application basically

developed for two different users, one is for the Faculty and

the other is Student. The Faculty can create the group by

selecting the Students from different branches and can send

the message to the created group and view the status of the

message either the Student viewed, accepted or declined.

The Student can respond the messages by selecting the

option Accept or Declined.

opined that Social networking is the most common task

performed by people. There are roughly 6,500 spoken

languages in the world today. However, about 2,000 of those

languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers. To help out with

such problem our application is very beneficial and easy to

use. We have achieved translating almost all the languages.

Social networking is not only with text but also with images

we have achieved to process the image for doing face

detection and the expressions. Our image processing also

helps you to crawl the internet for the. Internet uses hash

tags to categorize data. Over a billion images over the

internet we can protect/inform you about any illegal usage

of your image. With the help of same image processing we

can also get the information about landmarks. We have

managed to pull out all these features by using Google Cloud

API and Google’s Machine Learning

Qi Lai, Mao Zheng and Tom Gendreau [3] opined that one of

the learning outcomes listed by ACM mobile computing

education is to “Implement a simple application that relies

on mobile and wireless data communications”. This Android-

based Instant Message Application is aimed to meet this

outcome. Today more than 60 smart phones from major

manufactures run the Android platform. All these numbers

show that the Android project has gained momentum and

has moved forward. In addition to its openness, all the tools

in the Android development are free and no special

hardware is required. The project is tested on an Android

Emulator which is a tool that allows developers to easily test

an application without having to install the application on a

real device. The Android-based instant message application

uses the client/server architecture. The client can add a

registered user to be his/her friend and send or receive a

text message while the friend is on-line. Currently, the

communication in this application is using TCP.

Nikita Mahajan, Garima Verma, Gayatri Erale, Sneha Bonde,

Divya Arya [4] opined that Bluetooth provides the

communication on low-cost, low-power basis. Wireless

communication can also be done with the help of Bluetooth

technology in a mobile communication. Short-range

establishment of two-way communication has occurred

without any support of the network. Bluetooth is integrated

into Android which is a mainstream Smartphone platform as

a mean of mobile communication. Nowadays android

becomes the latest technology in the Smartphone’s which

provides the open sourcing and powerful application API.

Thus we design a chatting application based on android

Bluetooth which establishes a connection between smart

phones using Bluetooth and then messages are exchanged

between them. Start Server will enable the Bluetooth on

server side and active for the communication after scanning

for the devices and choosing one of them for the

communication. When server sends the message to client by

entering into the text field and the pressing send Message

button will send the above entered message to the client

Server can also receive message. Start client will enable the

Bluetooth on client side if not enable Receive will receive the

message coming from the server side. The client receives the

message as soon as the connection is established between

the two devices. The client can also send message to the

server or another device after the establishment of the

connection. Bluetooth enables or provides the better

improvement over the android devices. By receiving

message from the server the similar connection can also be

established within the same range. Area to be covered into

the Bluetooth range is limited.

2. PROPOSED SYSTEM

G-Chat application is an entertainment application. This

application aim to provide enjoyment to people, those who

suffer stress, and a wonderful platform for chatting and

gaming. User can chat, add games, create sub groups, play

games using this application. It also provide a quiz

game(general knowledge, aptitude) which helps to increase

the IQ of the user . This application mainly developed in the

android studio (android languages, java, java script) and the

quiz game is developed using visual studio and unity (for

scripting and displaying of game. User can also so invite their

friends to play with them. G-chat assign a unique

identification number for each user who have registered in

this app. A user can login to this app using user name and

name instead of reviling user name. After selecting a game ,

user get added to chat group created by admin (admin is

also a member) for that game and the user can create sub

group (with particular members in that group). In this chat

group, different colors are used are used to categorize admin

and other members, so user can easily understand the

dignitaries of various users, and official communication
