Hosting

1. Edit client/config.js to point to your server.
2. Edit server/server.js to match your desired port.
3. This depends on whether you A. want flash fall back or B. don't want it.

1. sudo privbind -u username node server.js allows for listening on port 843 without running the game as sudo.
2. node server.js just starts the game but the flash fall back won't work.
