API

The web socket message API have over the last week been fleshed out from it's earlier skeleton. Both in how the front end will connect to the back end and how the back end will push messages (events) to the front end. An example:
A user enters the lobby and enters a screen name. Through a web socket the name is send to the server which in turn tells the other clients that a new user has connected. The same goes for when a client leaves the system. Through this design the other connected clients are only receiving a small package containing this information while only the connecting client receives the whole list of users currently connected.

Some of the other features that are currently implemented are calling and receiving calls, which we intend to show in a video next week when it is integrated with tangible devices.
