Collecting ideas for neat examples

[tjguk]

[TL;DR Add ideas to the bottom of this issue]

I want to load the examples/ directory with easy but interesting examples of what you can do with networkzero. I'm trying to avoid dependencies, but it's not a showstopper, especially if they're widely-used ones like PyGame.

There are two kinds of things I'm looking for:

• Specifically educational examples where the code will be intelligible, at least with the help of some explanation, by students.
• Show-off examples which can be more complex but which showcase the possibilities

Add your ideas here:

• Streaming camera images (needs PyGame or similar)
• Multiway chat
• Multiway boardgame (there's currently a skeleton example of this)

I wonder if https://github.com/raspberrypilearning/networking-lessons could be made simpler by using networkzero?

I'll have a look at it (when I get the time). Thanks for the suggestion.

Feel free to have a go yourself if you think there's mileage.

Me me me!

@mmEisen and I are working on a script to do this. Will write some documentation for how to run it too.
