Instead of mouse buttons needs to interface with touchscreen touches and taps.

I'll get to work on some mobile-friendly improvements for this project

J-Puls did a really good job on the mobile-friendly version. Snaps! Just went through a major re-architecting to accommodate multiplayer. Mobile-friendly is a big component of multiplayer. In the use case where people play matches against one another on their phones, the touch controls are just what I need. But, phones require multiplayer to be interesting. Of course, they could operate by playing against the AI -- which is an option we should support. But human to human play is much more interesting and that requires some infrastructure behind it.

I would close out this issue -- but I need to finish the full end to end on multplayer to be happy with it. When I can pull out my phone and send a link to someone to click on and play me on my phone, I will be able to claim victory. Closing in, but now quite there, yet.
