/**
 * EventBus
 *
 * A wrapper around Node.js EventEmitter that provides a central event bus
 * for the entire application. This class is responsible for dispatching events
 * and registering event handlers.
 *
 * Event naming convention:
 * Events follow a namespaced pattern with colon separators: "domain:action"
 * For example: "player:connected", "table:player:joined", etc.
 *
 * Use the EventTypes constants to ensure consistent event naming across the application.
 *
 * External Usage:
 * Developers can extend the EventBus with their own custom events:
 *
 * ```typescript
 * // Define your custom events
 * const MY_EVENTS = {
 *   CUSTOM_ACTION: "myGame:customAction"
 * } as const;
 *
 * // Use the predefined event constants in your code
 * eventBus.on(MY_EVENTS.CUSTOM_ACTION, (data) => {
 *   console.log(`Custom action received: ${data}`);
 * });
 *
 * // You can also use string literals, but you lose type safety
 * eventBus.on("myGame:anotherAction", (data) => {
 *   console.log(`Another action received: ${data}`);
 * });
 * ```
