Decide on which function to use to launch the game #23

I'd like to look into the difference between runApp(), ShinyApp() and shinyAppDir(), and propose the best way to launch our Shiny game. See https://www.r-bloggers.com/2019/06/shinyapp-runapp-shinyappdir-and-a-fourth-option/

Our game will probably be deployed on Shinyapps.io, an online platform for hosting Shiny apps. In that case, we shouldn't use runApp(), but shinyApp() or shinyAppDir(), otherwise the app will not launch and global options are not read. We could also use golem::run_app(), but then we should also decide upon using the golem framework for building our app (issue #24).
