Persistent server

[sashman]

Background

The game only stores the session on the client side. There needs to be a persistent state of the world.

What needs to be done

Store client data (per IP address) on the server. When a client reconnects, read the data in and load it.

How to do it

When a client first joins, create a new file for storing position. Write to the file periodically, and when the player disconnects. If a player joins and a corresponding IP data file is present, use the data (position) for initialization.
