are there any infos how to use .env vars with colyseus ?

hi @arpu 👋 documentation is still missing... if you're using @colyseus/tools it is going to load the env file automatically, based on your NODE_ENV - if NODE_ENV is not set, it falls back to "development".

The following paths are tried, if the first succeeds, the second is ignored:

• .env.{NODE_ENV}
• .env

Here's the code that loads the env vars: https://github.com/colyseus/colyseus/blob/3f4ff2adcdf7f5bb5e5148d5a27db20d1a5a9dec/packages/tools/src/loadenv.ts
