Updates

⚙️ Public setting added for custom rooms!

Setting your room to public will make it discoverable in the public room list and accessible via the "Play" button
Setting your room to private preserves the same behaviour as before, hiding it from public access

You can now open up a sidebar during games to see event logs! (eg new player joined room, word submissions, etc)

On mobile devices, the sidebar appears at the bottom of the screen for easier access
