sudokGO

How to run:

1. node server.js
2. go to localhost:5000
3. to have another user join, navigate to localhost:5000/?id=r_xxxxxxxxx
   • check logs to find the right room id

Important files:

1. index.html: contains the main view for the project. html / css

2. server.js: essentially the backend for the project

3. client.js: client side actions. emits and recieves messages to the server.

How to send / recieve data

1. User sends data (client.js)

    socket.emit('custom_message', data);

2. Server recieves, emits to everyone in room (server.js)

    socket.on('custom_message', function(data) {
        // send back to everyone
        // if we have rooms, only send to the proper room
        io.emit('custom_message', data);
    });

3. All users recieve data (client.js again)

    socket.on('custom_message', function(data) {
        // handle the data
    });

So the client sends a message, server processes it, and then sends it back to ALL CLIENTS
