MQTT mirror gets grossly out of sync when network issues are encountered #107

Hey,

we've just had the situation here where a table mirroring another tablet lost network connectivity until the next match had started on the ref tablet. Then it started receiving updates again, but …

… those were grossly out of sync. When the network went down, the game score between player A and B was 4-1. When it reconnected, C was playing against D, and the score was 2-1. The mirror tablet still showed 4-1, and when C made another point (3-1), then the mirror changed to 5-1.

I have a video if you want to see it.

I am surprised because all the data are sent on every point (on the …/match topic as well as individual changeScore events, but apparently that is actually not honoured.

Networks are crap. It would be great if Squore mirror could do whatever it could to mirror, rather than keeping its own state of what it thinks the mirrored game is.

Sorry, maybe a bit incoherent. In the middle of a tournament.
