Heaps better. Using demo_paint.nio before, when I moved the mouse fast
trying to draw a straight line, I would get a really broken line. Now it
is still as laggy probably, but it feels heaps better, and the line is
more solid. Its kinda hard to explain, unless you can see it.... Fast
mouse clicks are picked up now, that makes the whole thing fell a lot
less laggy.
I might spend an hour this morning and set up a server on my work
machine, and one on my home machine (a ping of about 20 and 6 hops, one
of them being my router), I am getting pretty sick of writing schemas :)
So the program (paint_demo.nio) was missing the mouse events, rather
than the server (niod)? Or was the program missing the messages from the
server saying "put a pixel here"?
Anyway, maybe I should abandon my current project (multiplayer snake) in
favour of a new one, a multiplayer scorched earth clone for nio :) The
lag wont really effect this game, as its turn based :) Maybe a
multiplayer snake would be cool also....

Well maybe painful was to strong a word to use, you can notice the lag
between when you, say, change colours, and quick mouse clicks seem to be
ignored. I seem to have to hold down the button for a fraction of a
second longer than I normally would in both the paint_demo and the
mouse_test to register a click. These things are merely superficial
though, this project is really cool!
Try it now. Is that better, or worse?

Named after its country of origin 'England', English is a little known dialect used by up to 1.5 billion non-Americans worldwide. Some interesting but obviously incorrect features of the language include:
- queues of people - wonderful coloUrs - the useful metal aluminIum - the exotic herbs (h-urbs), basil (ba-zil) and oregano (o-re-gaa-no) - specialiSed books called 'dictionaries' that tell you how to spell words correctly
Many people using this bizarre gutter speak also subscribe to the pagan belief that water freezes at 0 degrees and that distances should be measured in the forbidden mathematical system of base-10...
