·        (Lori and I) Reduced packet since from server->client by approx. 3000 bytes

·        Moved wall collisions to client

·        Moved movement calculations to client as long as other player wasn’t nearby

·        Added code to calculate “proximity sphere” which tells the client when to give the server full control (positions and collisions).

·        Moved bouncing of goal calculations to client

·        Added several new message types which were needed for the smarter client to communicate with server

In Progress
