Multiplayer Setup

The game now supports online multiplayer through WebSocket:

1. Start the WebSocket server on port 3001 (default)
2. Open the app in your browser (runs on port 3000 by default)
3. Click "Search for Game" to enter the matching pool
4. When another player searches, you'll be automatically paired
5. Play in real-time with live updates!

The server handles:

• Player matching and pairing
• Game state synchronization
• Turn validation and enforcement
• Win condition detection
