Description

• Create a TCP Server using the NodeJS native net module
• Create a Client Constructor
• When sockets connect to the server, a new Client instance should be made
• All clients should have a unique id property - this should come from the use of node-uuid
• When sockets are connected with the client pool they should be given event listeners for data, error, and close events
• When a socket emits the close event, the socket should be removed from the client pool
• When a socket emits the error event, the error should be logged on the server
• When a socket emits the data event, the data should be logged on the server and the commands below should be implemented

Custom commands

• @all should trigger a broadcast event
• @nickname should allow a user change their nickname
• @dm should allow a user to send a message directly to another user by nick name or by their guest id (unique client id)
• when a user sends a message, their nickname should be printed
