Implementation choices:

gevent-socketio isn't keeping up with socket.io development; it seems unmaintained. Same with django-socketio. Plus, gevent's monkey-patching worries me from a library-compatibility point of view. The situation with Tornado and socket.io doesn't seem much better:

Unfortunately, Socket.IO 0.8 branch is abandoned, there are huge amount of bugs and nothing getting fixed.

So I went with node. I'm not using any "frameworks" other than node and socket.io, really, although I am using node-static for static file serving.

Since I'm using node, I thought about trying to share code between the client and server, but since that's less likely in a python shop, I didn't worry about it.

Issues:

• Only one game at a time
• (relatedly) If one player refreshes, they should both refresh.
• No tests
