Hi,

We have thought about this and may try in the future, but we don't think it
is very likely that it will be usable. If you take the typical lag as 200ms
then even if Steem did something like send joystick positions every other
VBL that would mean running at 20% speed. If you (or anyone else) has
suggestions for a good way to do internet play then please tell us.

Sincerely,
Russell Hayward
