Multiplayer websocket messaging protocol

[ignacioxd]

We need to define the messages the game will send via websockets, including the payloads sent by each one, if applicable. The basic features that must be supported for the first milestone are:

• Player connection/disconnection
• Player joining the game with a specific character/player name/etc.
• Player movement
• Player shooting
• Player health change
• Player killed
• Player respawn

Later versions of the game will support other features, such as collecting power-ups or healing.

Here's a first pass at this protocol. Changes in health (hits), getting killed, and respawning are not yet covered.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

The first working implementation of the protocol has the following flow:

Pending items are

• Hitting an enemy and getting hit / health change
• Killing
• Respawning

I'm closing this since 52137b5 and b596361 now provide the option to fire, hit an enemy to kill it (can be extended to affect health), and respawning can be implemented via another call to joinGame.
