Haskell JSON over TCP game bot

HuskyBot

Starting point for building a Haskell algorithm competition bot for the upcoming Reaktor code camp.

Competition Protocol

• JSON over TCP/IP
• Single JSON object message per line (separated by \n)
• Message structure consists of msgType and data
• Client starts with a JOIN message:

     {"msgType":"join","data":"lollerström"}

• Client waits until server starts a competition
• Start message is a list of player names:

     {"msgType":"gameStarted","data":["lollerström", "ökytunkkaaja"]}
