hot-seat mode

To enable hot-seat mode go to /previewer route.

It will create a new game and show screen with lobby and QR code to scan and join the game.

QR code directs to /join?gameId=<game-id> path. It adds the connected player to the room immediately after entering the link.

Game view is adjusted for mobile devices when joining from /join path - instead of game screen it displays arrow keys to control the snake. Other screens remain the same as for desktop.

To start the game at least 2 players need to be in the room and be marked as ready.

Current game finishes when all snakes are dead. The client with /previewer path - creates new game and displays the same screen as above. For clients using /join path - screen informing to scan the QR code once again is displayed
