This is a express.js app with socket.io plugin.
Currently, the server only acts as a message broadcaster, i.e. it receives a message from the client and sends it out to all other clients.
The com.js library provides for an abstraction over the internal messaging API.
It has one method 'sendDrawMsg' to send data from the client. To receive data you must implement matisse.onDrawEvent.
See the views/index.jade for example written in jade templating engine.
See index.html in this directory for a vanilla html example.
