Issue: Implement Multiplayer Support using Socket.io

Description:

To introduce multiplayer functionality to our project, we've already included the necessary Socket.io package. The following steps outline the setup required:

Action Items:

User Type Setup:

Define a user type structure within the codebase. This user type should contain attributes and methods necessary to manage player states, such as cards.

Create User Objects:

Implement a function that generates user objects, initializing them with the required properties to maintain player card state. Each user should have their unique identifier within the multiplayer game.

Socket.io Integration:

Hook up Socket.io to each user object to facilitate real-time communication between players. This will enable actions like card updates, game synchronization, and player interactions.

Sample Code (Partial Implementation):

// Define a user type structure
class User {
  constructor(id) {
    this.id = id;
    this.cards = []; // Initialize player card state
    // Add other user-specific properties here
  }

  // Implement methods for user actions
  drawCard(card) {
    this.cards.push(card);
    // Emit a Socket.io event to notify other players about the card draw
    socket.emit('cardDrawn', { userId: this.id, card });
  }

  // Add more methods as needed
}

// Create a new user object
const user1 = new User('uniqueId1');

// Initialize Socket.io and hook it up to the user
const socket = io.connect(); // Ensure Socket.io is properly initialized

// Example: Emit a Socket.io event when a user draws a card
user1.drawCard('cardData');
