If a user leaves after a game has started, it should be possible for them to rejoin.

• Provide a secret key to each client at the start of the game
• Allow the user to rejoin the game if they provide the same name and the secret key
• Send the current game state to the client when they join again

Instead of using the Games module to lookup the game pid on every call, look into storing the game pid on the socket for faster lookup.

Currently when new code is pushed, the build stops the current server and starts a new one. In the process, anything in memory is lost. This means any games in progress are being lost. Instead the server should use hot code reloads so that no game state will be lost.
