Player Names

[thecoshman]

Client

• ask player for a unique name to play with before allowing them to connect
• send display names of each player in some way that relates them to the 'avatars'

Server

• update to have player name information passed around
• reject players joining if they have not sent a unique name

Misc

clients should be able to connect and get a player ID, but must send a player name before being able to play. Player name could be required as part of a handshake process, or could simply allow a 'update player name' (ie { "id": <id>, "new_name": <new_name_string> }, server can ignore this, client MUST accept the change). The server could give the player a random name to start with.
