took me long enough, but i finally settled on a mechanism to have objects communicate over the socket io bus (untested)
working my git magic to fix the submodule, which is now updated to my clone of definitivelytyped (with bug fix)
using full js file, for debug purposes
Changed the socket io bus to prevent too much stringly typing
not sure if i need classes to wrap the sockets…
now using new socket io bus in the client (with debug code)
this is using the new took me a while to figure out that the socket io header was not good ( got a pull request at definitevlytyped now).
