[LRUG] Rails session stores?

[Matthew Rudy Jacobs]

A few years ago I did a quiz game.

At first I kept the game data in the session
(a pre-randomised list of questions, the answers given, time limits and
such)

It was kind of hard to work with.
quickly I realised that this data belonged in a "Game" model. With the
logic and persistence in one place.

I stuck it in the database, put the "game_id" in the session, and
everything was good.
