To communicate with the server, a graphical client has to follow this communication protocol.
Note that apart from the initial "-spectator" message, all requests from the graphical clients will be ignored.
After receiving the WELCOME message, the UI-client need to respond by -spectator to register as a spectator. The UI-client will next receive the height and width of the map.
--> WELCOME
<-- -spectator
--> map_size height width
/!\ After the connection's initialization, the server will send a first batch of notifications so that the UI-client can catch up on the ongoing game.
During a game, the UI-client may receive different types of updates (notifications) about the course of the match. Theses notifications will end by a single new-line character (\n)

- NORTH = 0
