Blinkmoji

[mbalasz]

Hi Fede,

As discussed I gave it a shot to integrate the Blinkmoji web app with your repo.

Summary of changes

• I added subpages to your main URL. So the starting point for blinkmoji should be https://fheinz.github.io/Blinkenlights/WebApp/blinkmoji
• I did not change anything in your main page
• I refactored your script.js to extract common functionality for just controlling the blinkenlights to a separate script called blinken.js
• The Blinkmoji app is basically a blinkenlights emoji chat room. I added a functionality of joining arbitrary rooms and people in one room can send blinkenlight emojis to each other.
• The app is still very crude and I only did basic local testing. I definitely encourage to test the app with multiple blinkenlights.

Requirements on the server side
As specified on my original repo page (https://github.com/mbalasz/blinkmoji#requirements) the server hosting the web app needs to have ImageMagick installed. It also needs the Noto Color Emoji font.

Local testing

1. npm install to download some extra node modules
2. In order for browserify to work I needed to do a small change in package.json of the module that provides emoji icons. So locally I recommend you add those lines
3. node server.js
4. The web app should now be working under localhost:3000/blinkmoji

New Branch?
I'd be happy to merge this into a separate branch as opposed to main to start with. However, I think you'd need to first create such branch.

I'm happy to chat more about this PR before moving forward. Just wanted to have some draft ready.
