start position json #5

Hey Niels,
Dunno if you saw email, but thought i'd put this here.

If we can agree to the following structure for board layout and moves

{
  "args": {
    "board": {
      "o": {
        "6": 5,
        "8": 3,
        "13": 5,
        "24": 2
      },
      "x": {
        "5": 1,
        "6": 5,
        "8": 3,
        "13": 4,
        "24": 2
      }
    },
    "dice": [
      6,
      4
    ],
    "player": "o"
  },
    "move": {
    "play": [
      {
        "from": "24",
        "to": "20"
      },
      {
        "from": "20",
        "to": "14"
      }
    ]
  }
}

then it will be incredibly straight forward to link our work together.
The above is the board that the move will be applied to. My backend code can then verify the move is indeed legal before allowing the player to continue from the resulting position.

and just to be exhaustive, this is how off and bar would work in the above:

{
  "args": {
    "board": {
      "x": {
        "1": 1,
        "2": 1,
        "3": 1,
        "bar": 0
      },
      "o": {
        "6": 5,
        "8": 3,
        "13": 5,
        "24": 2
      }
    },
    "dice": [
      2,
      1
    ],
    "player": "x"
  },
  "move": {
    "play": [
      {
        "from": "1",
        "to": "off"
      },
      {
        "from": "2",
        "to": "off"
      }
    ]
  }
}

when a piece is off then it just doesn't appear in the board structure (i.e there is no need for "off": 3 ) - we can add it for the frontend if you want, but i believe the backend will just ignore it
