EVargas: well, lag happens everywhere in the net – whether UDP or not. “different game” happens due UDP and how it was used (well, and of course lag affects it). The most visible thing is the fact that zomb deaths might have been missed (since … for this game I had to cut some corners :))

Score was synced everytime when a kill occurs so yeh, it should keep fine most of the time (only small delays perhaps).

The 140 chars long post on twitter didn’t let me tell you very well how I felt the game :P The connection was ok, I mean there was no lag (well just a lil bit but that’s because of my network that is really bad and maybe because u made it UDP if I’m right).

Another thing is that we both (friend and I) seem to be playing a different game. In my screen he was aiming somewhere I didn’t see any zombies so he didn’t help me at all haha. And in his screen the same thing happened. But the score was ok, it was increasing if zombies didn’t reach the left side.

Evargas: cool. was there any problems with the connections or anything?

Eli: I’ll keep doing them as long as it seems fun to do :)

Haha, sir I hope you keep up the prototyping even when you’ve completed your opus.

Well, this thing is (kind of) fun to play for 2 minutes if there’s 2 guys. Otherwise it’s real waste of time in a bad sense ;)

But anyway, it was good thing to see how UDP stuff work on blitzmax for me, and there was something a bit addictive in that minigame… so I’m fine.

Looks like a solid waste of some time – and you seem to have learned a fair bit; good stuff. (Also, glad to hear Dead Wake is approaching, and not a myth. haha)
