Refactor of eds-game-for-ftp-game-jam-2022
Make it easier to move responsibilities in an experimental way between the Server and the Client
Make it easier to increase or decrease the rate of updates for player input and network updates
Minimise the impact of low rates of network updates
Minimise build duration and maximise runtime performance
Spend a bit of time planning out some abstractions
Try to generalise for reuse, making it easy to do things like
Update the position of something
Produce / consume network updates about something
Logically separate things into different modules
Partition components by behaviour more so than identity
Instead of Player being moveable, have something like Moveable; then we could have some flags to control things like:
update_role; server or client
Use events to glue everything
Instead of a catalyst thing writing directly to a thing, propagate an event
Use a general event interface and general event handling to get code reuse
Lean on Rust Traits to have from_* functions to extract things meeting common interfaces from other things
