Other feature that gaming uses is leaderboards.  This is implemented by
giving you the ability to query a collection and get the resulting entities
sorted by a numeric property (i.e. a score).

Very cool!  I'm wondering what they've done to make it specialized for
gaming? This is something we've talked about quite a bit in the past.
It seems that we really need 2 key features to give the core these
features.

1) Websockets (or similar) to facilitate realtime I/O.

2) Random number generators to use in the game for outcomes (battles etc)

Do you know if they've added any additional features to the core?
