Replace `pygame` with `kivy` in `client.py`

[ReenigneArcher]

Using kivy would make it easier to create a multi platform client application.

Not quite sure how to get started though for this type of application.

Outdated, but similar example: https://github.com/atuldo/videoStream/blob/master/videoStream.py

This is probably close but not working quite yet... just putting here for now.

Been trying to save the image to memory and use that but not having much luck.

client.py
