Replace "Game Lobby", "Connect 4", and "Snake" headings with colored
circles (●●●●) and tildes (~~~~) so the UI is less obviously a game
at a glance. Also neutralize the lobby description text and shorten
the back link.
Add solo mode where players survive as long as possible while tracking
score (food eaten). Single player games start with a shorter 3-second
countdown vs 10 seconds for multiplayer, maintain exactly 1 food item
for classic snake feel, and end when the player dies rather than when
one player remains.
- Add GameMode type (ModeMultiplayer/ModeSinglePlayer) and Score field
- Filter single player games from "Join a Game" lobby list
- Show "Ready?" and "Score: X" UI for single player mode
- Hide invite link for single player games
- Preserve game mode on rematch
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.
