Implement a PoC chatbox

[norswap]

The goal is to let players chat with each other.

There are many possible providers: https://www.alchemy.com/best/web3-messaging-tools

Three that were on my radar and seemed promising:

• Waku, which we used for Vapor — in my experience that are some kinks to be ironed out (connection is slow), but it might be possible to overcome them.

• Web3MQ — however they seem to have pivoted to providing L3s on Starknet? Not sure how future-proof that project is

• Push protocol chat — probably what we should try first for a PoC.

A PoC could add a "chat" button to the play page, which would pop a chat overlay. This overlay should enable player to exchange textual messages (at first).

hi can i take this issue?

Hey Gavin, sure thing, but two things:

• I'd rather have people take one issue at a time (since you also asked for the Improve text readability #106)
• However, this one is a bit open ended so I think it's fine if we have more than one person tackle it!

So in summary, please do the other issue first (or post to say you won't be doing it), then go ham on this one :)

This looks interesting. I already started a discussion about an issue Detect offline client #35 it has not been assigned yet but i would like to take it as well, i can tackle it alongside someone as you suggested.

@Blazing-Mike @MSghais Feel free to get started, I don't mind multiple people working on this one because it's a bit more complex and open-ended.

@MSghais please let's sync on this.

While you guys are totally free to sync on this and compare notes, there's not obligation to work on this together (in fact it'd be nice to compare different approaches).
