It is transport- and UI-agnostic.src/net/: Handles signaling and authoritative P2P communication powered by Trystero (WebRTC). The host runs the game state engine and broadcasts event streams and snapshots to the guest.src/ui/: A responsive, touch-friendly UI board. Extends the original assets with modern styling, sounds, and dialog controllers.src/music/: Integrates HTML5 Audio to stream, loop, and control the classic cantina music tracks.
