Event API

Events are send over open websockets. The connection identification is managed in the game manager.

Messages sent to or from the server are in the format:

{
	type: String, [prop?]: String
}

Valid types to send to the server are: CREATE JOIN DEAL

Valid server response types are: GAME_CREATED USER_JOINED NEW_CARDS PLAYER_ADDED ERROR

Recepient	Event	Response	Error Response
Master	Server received CREATE	{ type: 'GAME_CREATED', gameCode: String }	{ type: 'ERROR', message: 'ERROR: Unable To Create Game' }
Player	Server received JOIN and username and gamecode	{ type: 'USER_JOINED', userName: String }	{ type: 'ERROR', message: 'ERROR: Invalid Game Code' or 'ERROR: Missing Paramaters' }
Player/Master	Server received DEAL and gamecode	{ type: 'NEW_CARDS', cards: Array }	{ type: 'ERROR', message: 'ERROR: Uable To Deal' }
Master	Server attached player to game	{ type: 'ADD_PLAYER', userName: String }	{ type: 'ERROR', message: 'ERROR: Uable Add Player To Game' }
Master	Player websocket error	{ type: 'PLAYER_INTERRUPT', userName: String }

When a player disconnects, master is notified. If they rejoin with the same userName and gameCode the first message after reconnection will be the cards they were delt if there is a currently ongoing hand.
