Send a Player object from Client to CaveServer.

Once we have basic communication established between the Client and CaveServer object, we need to start on the action loop. From a networking perspective, this means the Client should be sending messages to the CaveServer describing what it is doing. For example, the Client can send at least the following kinds of messages:

SHOOT: Player shoots an arrow

PICKUP: Player picks up items in the room

MOVE: Player moves to an available room

CLIMB: Player climbs out of the game (only available in the CaveSystemServer)

In response, the CaveServer should send a status message of some kind. To make things a bit more straightforward, let's assume that all "Player state" information (e.g., # of arrows, # of gold, room the Player is in, etc.) is stored on the Server. In that case, the response of an action to the Player by the CaveServer should describe the Player's complete state.

(If you'd like to start developing a common protocol for this, feel free -- discuss in the Protocol conversation. We'll address the protocol specifically next week.)

Post below with any questions you might have about this!

Be able to send and receive messages from the client and the server. Must create a way to determine how many lines are going to be sent/read.
