* [TomatoSauce](#TomatoSauce) ⇐ <code>EventEmitter</code>
    * [new TomatoSauce(config)](#new_TomatoSauce_new)
    * [.run()](#TomatoSauce+run)

<a name="new_TomatoSauce_new"></a>

### new TomatoSauce(config)
The main application for tomato sauce. Listens for connections and serves
random combinations of screens and renderers

The main entry point is the `#run()` function.

It emits a listening event that contains the server information on
the `server` key inside the `data` property of the event.

It also emits an error event that contains the error information on
the `error` key inside the `data` property of the event.


| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| config | <code>object</code> | the configuration object used to extend the properties. |

<a name="TomatoSauce+run"></a>

### tomatoSauce.run()
Main entry point, initializes the server and binds events for connections

**Kind**: instance method of [<code>TomatoSauce</code>](#TomatoSauce)  
<a name="Util"></a>

## Util : <code>Object</code>
Module containing utility functions

**Kind**: global variable  

* [Util](#Util) : <code>Object</code>
    * [.parse16BitBuffer(buffer)](#Util.parse16BitBuffer) ⇒ <code>Number</code>
    * [.pickRandom(array)](#Util.pickRandom) ⇒ <code>Any</code>
