Challenge Overview
Currently, TopCoder Competition Engine used a customized way for communication between the client side and the backend services. We are planning to implement a Web-based Arena using Node.js technology, so one key point to solve is how to reuse the customized communication protocol, so we don't need to update the backend services, and make the Arena applet and Web-based Arena usable in the same time.
This contest is going to seeking ways to create simply Node.js application which will works like client to communicate with backend listener, and handshake with it (login), and retrieve information from it.
