Uses server side code written for a previous Ludum Dare game - https://github.com/penteract/pubsub.
post-compo Bugfix: make it less likely that a losing player in a multiplayer game doesn't see the last move and is left waiting in the game (if this still happens, refresh the page to get back to the menu and let me know)
#### Strategy guide:
You want to end up with control of the largest region. Staying as close to the center as possible helps with this, since it means you have a large region of free space on the outside, and it also makes it easy to maneuver to the side you want to be on. If both players are following this strategy, they usually go in opposite directions around the center (clockwise and anticlockwise) until they meet or nearly meet, then both turn around. This repeats a few times, and in a close game the players end up thinking very carefully about timing for their final meeting in a small region. If an opponent deviates from this strategy, they can usually be sealed into a smaller region than you.
