This is the backend for HandGame Arena, a real-time multiplayer Rock-Paper-Scissors elimination game designed for the web and Reddit Devvit (experimental). It handles player matchmaking, room creation, gameplay logic, and real-time communication via WebSockets.

🚨 Note: Reddit does not currently support WebSockets, so full gameplay is only available outside of Reddit for now.

• 🔄 Real-Time Gameplay via WebSocket
• 🎮 Room Management – Public and private rooms
• 💥 Elimination Rounds – Players get eliminated each round
• 🧠 Auto-Move System – Idle players get random moves
• 🗃️ MongoDB Integration – For player, room, and game state storage

• Backend: Node.js with TypeScript
• WebSockets: socket.io
• Database: MongoDB with Mongoose
• Hosting: Google Cloud Run (or any Node-compatible host)

• ❌ No WebSocket Support on Reddit
  The game is fully functional, but cannot be played directly inside Reddit yet due to WebSocket restrictions.
