Version 0.4.0 - 13/07/25

Private rooms; you can now make your rooms private meaning that all players who try to join your room will have to be approved first by the host.
- If a host declines your request to join, you will be redirected to the lobby.
UI enhancements for the waiting room. Made it a lot less cluttered and straight to the point.

Player timeouts
- We now support adding time limits on players turns. This can be set to 30s, 60s or 90s depending on the pace you want your game to run. We recommend 60 seconds, to give players time to play but also keep momentum going.

Fixed a bug where the game would end prematurely if even 1 player was trapped.
The game will now conclude if only one player (or none) can make a valid move. This prevents a situation where a single remaining player can take infinite turns after all other opponents are trapped. However it also allows the game to continue between other players when certain players are trapped.
If a player was previously trapped by another player's counter and that counter then moves, the player can continue to play again.

Fixed a bug which would prevent games from ending when players were trapped in 3 & 4 players games. They would not be able to move and hence the game was stalled. This is fixed now by skipping the players turn.
These players will also now be referred to as "Trapped" and there will be a visual indicator that shows that they are now out of the game. This doesn't necessarily mean that they have lost though as somebody who is trapped may still have more territory than others when the game ends.

Allow player to place walls on starting position so long as there is at least one space to move.
- This substitutes the move seen in The Devil's Plan where a player is a able to move forwards and backwards to the same spot.
