/**
* This file contains functions for starting and interacting with a game run by the engine.
* The general usage is to first create a gameconn object by calling one of the flib_gameconn_create
* functions. That will cause the frontlib to listen on a random port which can be queried using
* flib_gameconn_getport(). You should also register your callback functions right at the start
* to ensure you don't miss any callbacks.
*
* Next, start the engine (that part is up to you) with the appropriate command line arguments
* for starting a game.
*
* In order to allow the gameconn to run, you should regularly call flib_gameconn_tick(), which
* performs network I/O and calls your callbacks on interesting events.
*
* Once the engine connects, the gameconn will send it the required commands for starting the
* game you requested in your flib_gameconn_create call.
*
* When the game is finished (or the connection is lost), you will receive the onDisconnect
* message. This is the signal to destroy the gameconn and stop calling tick().
