Not receiving stdout from nodejs spawned process

Answer 1

Why isn't that initial line from the game being picked up?

I had the same problem on a project that called a compiled C++ program from node.js. I realized the problem was in the compiled C++ program: I wasn't flushing the stdout stream. Adding fflush(stdout); after printing a line solved the issue. Hopefully you still have access to the source of the game!
