When running a game, there's no way to ever restart it without closing the entire program. This means for testing gameplay, it becomes a tedius process of run console, load game, start game, test, close console, run console, load game, start game, test etc etc.
It would be nice if there was a reset button, which when pressed resets the current game to the initial state. This shouldn't prompt the user to open another game, but instead just restart the current one.
I think this could be done via messing around with the wasmtime stuff, or by potentially initialzing a whole new WasmConsole. I think the new console technique will be the most bug-free, but it also has the highest performance cost, so it would be better to find an alternative. Bonus points if it can also work over the network state too!
