Re: [Balder-devel] game setup

Most of what I mentioned in the previous email is now done. Point #5 howe=
ver=20
is not fully implemented, but that's probably not crucial.  The start sig=
nal=20
is sent to all clients, however they don't send back a confirmation (I do=
n't=20
think).   Since we're using TCP for game setup, and it's supposed to be=20
"guarenteed", I  think since we aren't sending gobs of data we can reason=
ably=20
assume the signal gets there.  Only testing on the real internet will tel=
l=20
tho, as on my lan, or running two instances on one comp,the signal will=20
always arrive. =20
