• Create Pong Game Frontend with websockets (Socket.io)

Pong Game

Rewritten the entire pong game code aside from how it was implemented in the tutorial as 2+ game play had serious problems and logic failures.

• Implement a namespace/rooms configuration with socket.io
• The socket.io server can handle multiple playrooms.
• The core game parameters kept sync in client and server-side.
• Dynamic room play parameters kept on the client side
• Added backend socket disconnect event which can re-use abondoned rooms to avoid room naming clashes, or issue players to awaiting rooms thru server-side state management.
• Disconnect of an opponent triggers display of Intro Screen and dials the room into awaiting list till another opponent jumps in.
• Keep track of global current player count
• ⚠️ PENDING ISSUE: Keep persistent session IDs to make game state resilient to browser refresh on client-side
• ⚠️ PENDING ISSUE: Create a webpack setup to bundle front-end and back-end
