Communication between clients and the server
By Spooner and Mandoble
The simplest way to communicate is to use publicVariable, which will allow synchronisation of a global variable's value across all machines. Unfortunately, this simple technique will not allow the transfer of some data types (sides, arrays) and is limited in its usefulness, since it does not inform the other machines that anything has been changed.
