Server is ready, basic transactions are ok... HK is now an online game!

On the C++ side it's a rather simple netsock class forging and dealing with TCP requests. Server side is PHP coded against a nosql database.

Anyway an improved version of my class compared to IUBES, in order to add capabilities and reinforcements for the predictable intensive usage to come!

My client/server protocole – the way each playing computer deals with the remote server – is now finalized. Encoding, serialization, dispatch... everything needed is there.

Exchange flow might be a little more compressed but that would be over optimization.

Last question awaiting response is the level of security needed for client-server requests. I don't know how much efforts usual cheaters will provide?

At this point each data flow carries hidden checksums, making any injection explosive. This should be discouraging enough...

Two months passed, will lot of things to do but HK. Those stop & go aren't really easy to deal with.

But things seem to be back on track... Welcome to 2015! I decided to restart with small tasks, like this slightly redesigned dock station.

I'm glad with the current visuals, even if this is far from what I was thinking when I first start: a minimalistic FPS-shoot'em'up.

Multiplayer accuracy has been increased from 94.8 to 98.5% – each last percent is more and more difficult to obtain. In order to keep things consistent I must achieve something like 99.9%.

Not for a perfection cult, but simply because this tiny 0.1% still means 50 lost bullets on a ~5000 hits battle. Can’t deal with more than that.

Mandatory step: I'm now adding a tutorial...A very essential thing but rather boring to create. But essential. Still boring.

I'm also fixing a couple of details thanks to early beta testers who just have made a blink beta test. The "undock" button is much more visible now, nobody will be stuck again. My bad.
