Directions

• Create a TCP Server use using the net module
• Create a Client Constructor
• When sockets connect to the server a new Client instance should be made
• Clients should have a unique id from node-uuid
• e.g. 2309-4802-3948-...
• Clients should have a unique 'nickname'
• e.g. guest-43
• When sockets are connected with the ClientPool 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 \wack commands below should be implemented

Wack commands '\'

• \all should trigger a broadcast event
• \nick should allow a user change their nickname
• \dm should allow a user to send a message directly to another user by nick name
• when a user speaks their nickname should be printed
• i.e. teapot: Sup Hacker?

Bonus

• 2pts Write a test that tests \nick actually changes a clients nickname
