[gameprogrammer] Re: [ANNOUNCE] NewI\O Alpha Version 0.07(Build 043)

IMHO, I remember playing fairly decent quakeworld games at old modem speeds,
which typically gave me a ping of around 150-200ms. Sometimes felt like you
were skating about on ice rinks, but it wasn't 'unusable'.

I think it was something to do with quakeworld being able to assume things
about motion (like, if a player is runing down a corridor, he will continue
to run down the corridor even if he has lousy bandwidth) ?

Is there anything like this you can build into NewI\O while the rest of the
world plays ping catch up?

With 18 hops and 180 millisecond ping time there may not be that much
you can do. When response time drops below about 100 milliseconds
interactive programs become unusable. Maybe the group should brainstorm
over how to get the effective ping time down.
