How this works

The project consists of two main components:

1. HTML and javascript to be handled by a browser, files live under subdirectory 'static'. File 'gameclient.js' has all the code to communicate with the game server
2. A Node Express based http server, main file: 'index.js'. This server keeps the game state but also serves static files from subdirectory 'static'
