## Client
The client will make HTTP request in the following template format: _**http://`<HOST>`:`<PORT>`/`<URI>`?`<QUERY_STRING>`**_
| `<Key>` | Value |
| :--: | :--: |
| `<HOST>` | _localhost_ |
| `<PORT>` | _8000_ |
| `<URI>` | _make/play_ |
| `<QUERY_STRING>` | _player_id=45JKL89_ |
The resulting URL would look like: `http://localhost:8000/make/play?player_id=45JKL89`.
> **Note**: The `URI` will determine what actions the server will make.
### ClientRequest and Prompt
The client is "server-event" driven. When the client receives a response from the server, this response has certain information to tell the client what to do next.
**Server Response Data Format**
{
'client_data': {
'player_id': player['id']
},
'client_options': {
{
'prompt': 'Game: SJ790JHKP:',
'uri': 'game/join',
'qs': {
'game_id': SJ790JHKP
}
}
},
'message': "Choose a game to join."
}
- `message` (String): Basically a message that is displayed to the client before the user input prompt is provided.
- [`client_options`](#client_options) (Dictionary): Consider this an application object. It contains the necessary information for the client to make a choice from an options list, which in-turn translates a server request.
- `client_data` (Dictionary): Think of this like cache in a web browser. This information is included in the query string of each server request to help identify the client to the server.
- There are two possible fields:
- `player_id`: Identifies the unique player
- `game_id`: Identifies the unique game
#### `client_options`
A specific option in the list of `client_options` may look like:
{
'prompt': 'Join Game'
'uri': 'game/join'
'qs': {
'game_id': 'ASD890AJKL'
}
}
- `prompt`: The text that is displayed as a label for the individual option
- `uri`: The designated URI path segments to generate a server request for the specific option
- Remember the `<URI>` path segments are significant, the tell the server what exactly the client is requesting.
- `qs`: Addition query string variables to be merged if the specific option is selected.
- For example, if the client is prompted to join a game, from a list of available games, the selected options needs to contain information to identify which games was selected, this is how this is done.
