I am certain there are libraries out there we can use, but I had rather do it ourselves as a learning exercise. Just need to clean up (abstract away) the parsing a bit and all the error handling that results from it.
My general idea right now would be to just move the parsing to method(s) like parse_input and then when error handling instead of checking at each parameter collect the errors and check them all in one go after all parsing is done.

Currently is a bit ad-hoc... there is the parse_input method (https://github.com/Akavall/GoGamesProject/blob/master/basic_server.go#L215), but it's currently only used by the take_zombie_dice_turn method.
