> Can I have a client connected to a server on the same device?

Yes, you can. You can have even one server and multiple clients in the same machine. The code from [this](https://discourse.processing.org/t/server-client-reply/1877/11) should be a good starting points. You can check the library documentation and see if it suits your needs.
