Users can specify an identification code when they connect (8-100 characters), only if they are using HTTPS. This code is combined with their nickname and a server-side secret, hashed with SHA-256, and condensed down to 64 bits by XORing every 8th byte with each other, and finally converted to base64 (with the trailing = removed). This code is displayed in a tooltip when hovering over the user's chat (TODO: mobile way to view it).
Sigils have been added to be displayed before the user's name in the chat. Admins get @, users with an ID code get +, and normal users get nothing. The IS_ADMIN field is now deprecated, as this can be determined from the user's sigil. It will be removed eventually, but is still being included in events even though the official client should not be using it anymore.
Kicks and bans are now always displayed to all users, even if the server isn't transmitting quit events normally.
Fix removing cookies.
Add per-server instance unique IDs for games and users, which will not collide between servers or when servers restart.
Add GeoIP capability.
Add beginning of framework for logging card plays.
Add support for blank white cards, that allow the player to enter their
own answer. (Game host can choose how many to include in the deck; the
default is none.)
- add play card handler. need to send the white card count down to users that refresh the page.
- ajax event handlers get the request object as well as the result object so the server doesn't have to send the game id back in a response
reworked some tests to be able to hide a method from GameManager. part of this goal was to reduce unnecessary game refresh broadcasts if a client tried to create multiple games.
