🍪 Cookie Conquest

A real-time multiplayer cookie clicker game with trading mechanics. Click cookies, buy generators, and trade against your friends' cookie counts!

🎮 How to Play

1. Create or Join a Lobby - Enter your name and create a lobby (get a 4-letter code) or join with a friend's code
2. Click Cookies - Build your cookie empire by clicking and buying generators
3. Trade Positions - Open LONG or SHORT positions on other players' cookie counts

💹 Trading Mechanics

• LONG: Bet that a player's cookies will go UP
• SHORT: Bet that a player's cookies will go DOWN
• Leverage: 1x to 10x - Higher leverage = higher risk/reward
• Liquidation: If price moves against you enough, you lose your stake
• Max Payout: Auto-close when your profit exceeds what the target can pay
