many bugs for now, but it's kinda maybe sort of working...

Right now, for every game loop, we make 40+ firebase requests. The loop runs every 33 milliseconds. Firebase can't handle this.

The solution I'm envisioning right now is to create a huge JSON with the changes that have to be made in firebase and, at the end of each loop, make a single firebase request. Something like:

gameRef.child("planets").update({ "planet0": { //updated info }, "planet3": { //updated info } });
