Server to coordinate awesome light-cycle battles between remote clients

tronhub's Issues

Game Loop

What actions should we always perform in the game loop?

Game state should affect what we do/don't do in these actions, but the actions should always be called.

Move...Verify...Update...Cleanup?

Use a standard messaging format / protocol

How should messages between the client and server be formatted?
The format should be framework agnostic and well supported across many languages.

Some such formats / protocols:

• Stomp http://stomp.github.io/ http://jmesnil.net/stomp-websocket/doc/
• WAMP (Web Application Messaging Protocol) http://wamp.ws/
• Protobuf https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ (actually a serialization format rather than a messaging format)
• Socket.io-protocoli https://github.com/automattic/socket.io-protocol

Speed Boost?

Could the player's light stream be turned off to provide a 1 cell boost to your speed?

Would this addition make the game more fun to play?
