Hi Kamil,
We could just lock the framerate of the game to 30fps. Which I would think
90% of the computers in the world today could handle. And if they can't,
well their just have coppy graphics.
Anyway back to the point. That way both the server and 90% of the clients
will have the same framerate, and so you won't need to worry about
synchronizing them.
