Server to coordinate awesome light-cycle battles between remote clients

How it works

At this point it doesn't.

Here's the basic idea:

• Players are streams
• The server connects players to a game
• With each iteration (of the game loop) the game will send each player a prompt
• A player will respond to this prompt with an intent to travel

Rules and game-play

• Game begins with players being placed within the arena
• Players take turns traveling
• Players must attempt to travel with each turn
• Travel is limited to cardinal directions (no diagonal travel)
• Travel velocity is always 1 cell (primary distance unit) per turn
• Intent to travel is expressed in egocentric terms (left, forward, right)
• A player attempting invalid travel is immediately terminated
• An attempt to travel to a location beyond the arena bounds is invalid
• An attempt to travel to a location presently occupied by an active player is invalid
• An attempt to travel to a location presently occupied by an active player's trail is invalid
• When a player is terminated their trail is removed from the arena
