• Server and client should each have a concept of which client's turn it is
• Server should not honor requests to change the game state from non-admin clients while it is not their turn
• Clients need an "End Turn" button.
• The server likely also needs a copy of the game state at the beginning of each turn that it can send to non-admin clients. This will allow admin clients to see what a non-admin client is doing on their turn before the "End Turn" option is selected,
• Clients should have access to information aspects of the game state while it is not their turn, but only be able to modify the game state during their turn.
• Admin client should have the ability to assign and unassign other admin clients, and independently define whether a client can see the 'between turn' game state
• ships need to have client id indicating ownership. Only admin clients can edit state of ships that they do not own

Client and server are now talking, but

Server needs to:

• Send master-list to all clients when ships updated
• Receive client's ship list and update the master list ONLY on the client's ship that sent the update
  • this will mean there needs to be some sort of better/secure client authorization at some point, but they can be identified by client socket for now

Client needs to:

• Update game state when ship array arrives from server

Allow definition of HexGrid dimensions, and calculate camera restrictions based on them

It is becoming messy!

Many users will likely have no need to use server functionality, so the (perhaps default) option to automatically launch and connect to a local server with full game state editing privileges is required.

Server should not crash upon receiving a strange / incorrectly formatted message
