N-player (2-8) real-time Snake game alongside Connect 4.
Lobby has tabs to switch between games. Players join via
invite link with 10-second countdown. Game loop runs at
tick-based intervals with NATS pub/sub for state sync.
Keyboard input not yet working (Datastar keydown binding
issue still under investigation).
Use gotailwind (standalone Tailwind v4 via Go tool) with DaisyUI
plugin files — no npm needed. CSS is compiled at build time and
embedded via a Via Plugin that serves it as a static file.
Custom "connect4" theme: light, warm, playful palette with red/yellow
accents matching game pieces and board blue accent.
When unauthenticated users visit a game invite link, show a prompt
with options to log in, register, or continue as guest. After
login/register, redirect back to the original game URL.
