CHAT

[Ashyy-code]

Now that I've made it a github issue it has to be actioned right? ... right?

Lissen, chat, its good shit its important, I wanna deathroll harle but he doesn't use a mic and I still want to witness his reeing.

Introducing.... CHAT!

Some minor changes to be made to the front-end:

• roll input now visible to all players regardless of who's turn it is.
• placeholder for roll input removed
• auto-focus the input at all times
• when input is submitted, do the contents check (below)

Contents check:

if user entry starts with /roll :

• check that its this users turn via the playerTurn property of the game stream
• if it IS their turn, do the gameTurn endpoint as usual
• if its NOT their turn, show an error "yo, its not your turn"

if the user entry does NOT start with /roll:

• this is a chat message! just send it to the sendChat Endpoint.
• send chat endpoint needs gameID, playerID and the message.
• dont forget to refocus the textbox again after! spamming is good and engaging for the players :)

Chat messages are just actions in the action history of type "chat". By default they are the playerName + ":" + Message.

Chat messages may weave inbetween rolls, and an example may be:

• Ashy rolled a 342
• Dawd rolled a 3
• Ashy : Fucking hell dude LOL
• Dawd: Git gud
• Ashy rolled a 2
• Ashy : You were saying bitcccch???
• Dawd rolled a 2
• Ashy : fuck..

It would be cool if it could somehow know which part of the message is a player name (before the first ":" ) so that it could be colored yellow or something LOL.
