Players is the number of player slots (human or computer), ip is the user's
ip address, and port is the udp port number that the engine is listening on.
An optional password may be used.

LISTGAMES
Get a list of all created games. The server will send a series of LISTGAMES
responses for all currently open games and as new games are created. The
LISTGAMES parameters are a unique game id used by JOINGAME, the game
description, map, number of open player slots, total number of players (human
and computer), game creator user name, ip address, and the udp port number the
engine is listening on. The server will continue sending LISTGAMES until
LISTGAMESEND is called or the user joins a game.
