- Host can kick players from lobby (removes from game, clears presenter if needed)
- Client can voluntarily leave game
- Fix browser-compatible base64 decoding for document upload (atob vs Buffer)
Bug Fix:
- Fix stale closure bug in client answer validation where correct answers
were sometimes marked incorrect. The issue occurred when players answered
quickly after a question started - React's async state updates meant
currentCorrectShape could hold the previous question's value. Added
currentCorrectShapeRef to ensure the latest value is always used.
Scoreboard Improvements:
- Unified desktop/mobile layout: avatar, name, and points on first line;
progress bar on second line; bonus pills on third line
- Removed 5-player limit to show all players
- Added vertical scrolling when player list exceeds viewport
- Fixed layout to prevent content overflow issues
- Persist firstCorrectPlayerId to backend during state sync
- Restore full players array (not just host) on host reconnect
- Add default values to WELCOME payload for new/unmatched players
- Add migration for first_correct_player_id column in game_sessions
Add a centralized game configuration system that allows customizable
scoring mechanics and game rules. Users can now set default game
configurations that persist across sessions, and individual quizzes
can have their own configuration overrides.
