Hello:
I wanted to make the client in python, and the server possibly, though 
I'm not really sure on that. I was not worried about the code for the 
server being stolen, as much as I was worried about people tinkering 
with the client code for added advantages. Most of the logic can be 
handled by the server to prevent a lot of this, but there are still ways 
people could give themselves advantages by altering the client.
