You can write an ICQ client yourself if you have certain skills, but it is easier to use your own assemblies, which can be done using special online constructors.
Necessary
Internet access or Kernighan and Ritchie's tutorial on C ++ programming
Instructions
Step 1
Open the website of the constructor for icq programs. There are a lot of them now, the most popular among them are https://besticq.ru/, https://icq-programms.ru/icq-phone.shtml, https://www.phoneicq.ru/jimm_kons.html, https://www.mobilnaja-aska.ru/ and so on. Before starting the builder, decide on which device and with which operating system you will use it.
Step 2
Please note that icq programs in jar format are supported by most smartphones, but they are inconvenient compared to those developed for a specific model or version of the operating system. Also, pay attention to the relatively new type of instant messengers that integrate into the browser and launch the instant messaging system when the browser is opened.
Step 3
Select in the site menu the device for which you will design the program, also select the type of program itself - icq, jabber, qip, jimm, and so on. After selecting basic parameters, proceed to specifying specific parameters. Select the appearance of the program - you will be presented with a list of interfaces of the most convenient popular messaging programs.
Step 4
Choose any emoticons, icons, pictograms and color schemes for the main menu. Also, for some, the installation of additional modules is available, such as, for example, file transfer, a plug-in for exporting status from the player, animation, and so on - everything here already depends on your imagination and the capabilities of your device.
Step 5
If you want to write an ICQ messaging client yourself, learn the C ++ programming language, learn the https://dev.aol.com/aim/oscar/ protocol (registration required) and open source templates. You will also need a compiler program such as Nokia Qt SDK.
