<p>Responsibilities of this class are intentionally limited to wiring:
it creates all components, connects them together, restores a previously
saved game if one exists, and starts the event-processing loop and the
network servers.

<p>All game-logic and event-routing decisions are delegated to
<a href="GameEventProcessor.html" title="class in it.polimi.ingsw.gc14"><code>GameEventProcessor</code></a>; persistence is delegated to <a href="SaveManager.html" title="class in it.polimi.ingsw.gc14"><code>SaveManager</code></a>.

<p>The original <code>ServerLauncher</code> class is preserved and untouched.
This class is a clean replacement that uses the new component structure.</div>
