Running a game

For now you cannot just load the index page or you'll get an error. To make it do something you need to add the query parameters engine (URL of the engine API) and game (ID of the game you want to run). For example:

http://localhost:3000/?engine=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3005&game=3bb6f305-04fd-4e16-935a-d7a240154dd6

Since it is a common pattern to create a game, start it, and then view it in the browser you can do something like this:

GAME_ID=`engine-cli create -c ~/snake-config.json | cut -d'"' -f 2`
engine-cli run -g $GAME_ID
xdg-open "http://localhost:3000?engine=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3005&game=$GAME_ID"

Linting and formatting

ESLint and Prettier are setup in this project so you may want to install compatible plugins in your editor.
