Accomplished this week

• Tried out 2 players over network at home.
• Changed the way server processes messages to fix input so it’s smoother (still needs work to get networking mode as smooth as single player mode)
• Worked on preventing server from getting backlogged when more than one player is sending input to server (seems to be fine when using computers at home and going to test out lab computers Tuesday morning).
• Change sound file setup so that the wav files are not wrapped up in the EXE
• Added sound capability for single player mode
• Added command line argument to turn off sound
• Changed server game engine code so that movements do not stop abruptly
