How does it works?

   ServM
     -listen to the determinate port. 
     -handle the user list: (nick , Human(nick,Socket,comment))
     -is used to broadcast messages to users.
    when a connection occure ServM pass the socket to SocketHub.
- 
   SocketHub(Socket)
    get the stream from the socket, verify the nick of the
    incoming user. When evrything is OK it add the user to
    ServM's user list with Human(nick,Socket,comment)
    and create a new Mstream(nick)
- 
   Human(nick,Socket,comment)
    read and write in the Socket
    have some usefull method such as isAlive()
-
   Mstream(nick)
    Mstream is the "waiting room" on the server for the users.
    It takes the control of this user, then handle the data
    streams between users until he starts a game.
    with Game(opponent,nick)
-
   Game(opponent,nick)
    Take the control of the 2 players: Player(nick,Human,move)
    and manage the game using MRules(nick1). When the game end 
    it gives the two users back to Mstream.
-
   Player(nick,Human,move)
    is an extension of Human, with some more method for Game()
    it handle if it's his Turn to play ...
-
   MRules(nick) (note that MRules is also used by the client)
    It handle the game board and the rules.
