Description

Actual: When you create an online game and then go back to the main menu and start a "Play with Computer" game instead, the game still stays on the online game you created before.

Expected: The online game no longer exists, and the new game type starts normally.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the game state management when navigating between menus. Trace how the 'Create Online Game' action sets a persistent state that is not cleared on going back, causing the new game to still reference the old online game.
