Basic Realtime Multiplayer in NodeJS and browser

This project is based an excellent article by Sven Bergström : Real Time Multiplayer in HTML5.

I've taken some of the source provided and simplified it. The aim being to improve my understanding of how proper multiplayer games work.

It represents a persistant world where clients can join / log off at any point. Supports more than 2 players (hardcoded to 3 but could be any number).
