Add inter-process communication #10

voidbert · 2024-04-20T21:25:32Z

Pretty large PR that:

Adds a layer for message passing between clients and the server (and vice-versa);
Defines the protocol followed by the messages;
Allows for messages to be sent and handled;
Results in a working server and client with argument parsing.

Block the server upon professor's request and don't fail on reading. Some typos were also fixed.
