    20 /**
       
    21  * This file contains functions for starting and interacting with a game run by the engine.
       
    22  * The general usage is to first create a gameconn object by calling one of the flib_gameconn_create
       
    23  * functions. That will cause the frontlib to listen on a random port which can be queried using
       
    24  * flib_gameconn_getport(). You should also register your callback functions right at the start
       
    25  * to ensure you don't miss any callbacks.
       
    26  *
       
    27  * Next, start the engine (that part is up to you) with the appropriate command line arguments
       
    28  * for starting a game.
       
    29  *
       
    30  * In order to allow the gameconn to run, you should regularly call flib_gameconn_tick(), which
       
    31  * performs network I/O and calls your callbacks on interesting events.
       
    32  *
       
    33  * Once the engine connects, the gameconn will send it the required commands for starting the
       
    34  * game you requested in your flib_gameconn_create call.
       
    35  *
       
    36  * When the game is finished (or the connection is lost), you will receive the onDisconnect
       
    37  * message. This is the signal to destroy the gameconn and stop calling tick().
