http://ec2-52-40-222-76.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/spectate/{ROOM_ID} where {ROOM_ID} is an existing room to spectate.

• User navigates to http://ec2-52-40-222-76.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com.
• User waits for another user to connect on play URL.
• If a player disconnects, the other player and the spectators are notified and the room is closed.
• If a player wins or the game draws, the other player and spectators are notified and the room is closed.
• Users are tracked by Session IDs, so two tabs == two users.
• Game is stored on room in server to prevent client manipulation.
• First turn is randomly selected and players are referred to as 1 or 2 depending on join order.

• Games are stored in a RDS PostgreSQL instance.
• Connect4Game model stores the following:

Schema:

• Game is only stored if at least 1 player joined the room.

• Make interface responsive/fix mobile experience.
• Unit tests.
• Configure SSL using Let's Encrypt.
• Overall better UI (ex: more clear display of server updates).
• Add chat (it would be fairly simple with the existing server capabilities).
• Refactor both Node & React app structures to be more scalable.
• Possibly host static files in an S3 bucket.
• Refactor Connect4 & InfoPanel components.
• Check that some values aren't being synced. I have not used Colyseus before so I would like to do more testing to ensure that clients cannot manipulate game state.
• Set up babel & env configurations on server.
