```

## Usage

```javascript
// Create a Node.js HTTP server (with Express in this case)
const app = require("express")();
const http = require("http").createServer(app);

// Start the socket.io server that handles websocket requests from the client
require("lobby-server")(http);

// Listen on a port. This port must be specified when connecting with the client.
