Beginnings of space game framework

Working node.js game server with basic world step and transparent state sync using delta compression.

Go to the directory, then type:

node startServer.js

then visit in your browser: http://localhost:59473/ -Three.js canvas client

http://localhost:59473/fireball.html -canvas client that looks like fire

http://localhost:59473/webgl.html -webgl client (broken)

(59473 kind of spells space, right?)

Areas: AlphaOmega - One big grav source near, One gigantic source far but approaching TwoPlusAFewBody - Two big grav sources with a bunch of smaller objects between them

Mousewheel or twofinger zoom works now on default client. Click to clear the screen on default client.

Notes: - Play with the Grav constant in SpaceMath.js to speed/slow things (esp. until we fix how time works)

Dependencies: - Socket.io

Todo:

• Implement a transparent-as possible client->server RPC. Without client->server RPC, we can't really perform actions on the server. Without a simple enough RPC method with minimum of copy and paste code, development will suck.

• Find a way to share node.js code directly with client for easy development.

• Find a way to easily serve files out of a given directory to ease addition of client-side HTML code. see Express.js for easy way to serve files

• Oh yeah, make a game somewhere in here too.
