Make the connections UDP about haunted-chronicles HOT 6 OPEN

We have another answer here to confirm :

from haunted-chronicles.

Currently, both our clients and server sockets are using socket.SOCK_STREAM (a.k.a TCP) in their constructor.
We just have to replace it with socket.SOCK_DGRAM (a.k.a UDP) !

Problem : listen and accept do not exist for UDP sockets.
Need for a central socket (MAINSOCKET) to process clients inputs and share them to the server, which will then use a predefined socket to send data back.
On the client side, may need to have two sockets : one for listening and one for sending. (But not sure it is required)

Good improvements today.
Yet, still need to stop the dissociation between new connections and old clients.
In the future, only two threads will be necessary : the socket one and the server management one.

Still need to improve the way our UDP works :
Client side :

• A thread permanently listens for state of the game which is sent periodically after periodically moving players.
• Another thread send inputs only when there is inputs to send. Remove "." input which certainly floods the server a lot !

Tried to implement two threads on the client side. WIP and need improvements.
Yet periodically moving players is a good improvement and need to be improved. Same for stopping sending "." for no reason and still having feedback from the server !

I'm not sure threads really are necessary on the client side.
