Add Global Scoreboard

[jsolly]

Context

Users should be able to see the global top 10 scores when the game ends

Current Behavior/Workaround

Only showing current user's top score via local storage

Things to consider

Store in a flat file or database?
Any issues with concurrency if using a flat file?
Will need to provide a way to add three-letter username to associate with score
Will need placeholders for the top 10 scores to start

@shawnamays do you have any suggestions for what should go in the scoreboard or other enhancements related to it?

Implementation finished

• Using a MongoDB database for the high scores
• Serverless functions for GET/POST to api/highscores
• The name for each highscore is a three letter capitalized name
• The database only maintains the top 10 scores
