TO ALLOCATE:
Network buffer? no solution exists atm. but big problem.
Creep 2 Creep collision issue? no solution exists atm. but big problem. 
perhaps subtract from position on collision instead of just pausing.

** Possibly a score 'Kills: X', easy 5 min change.

Alan
	-Graphics, gui clean up
	-Powerup change
	-Weapon change
	-Creep animations
	-Minimap?
	-Colour freeze blue
	-visual creep feedback for damage or death
Sam

	-background music
Thavidu
	-Player health removed
	-Wizards to shoot back, freeze you
	-Turret
	-More levels or tuned levels enough for it to last 15 min of presentation.
Cory	
	-Only players should collide with powerups
	-Player shouldn't collide with their own bullet
	-AMMO has to replenish more smoothly, and maybe collidable portal.
Stephanie
	-Aiming, ray collision? (optional)

EDIT THIS WAS NEVER USED


Client Loop

------------

1. Check for network (check buffer)

2. Input (puts in the send buffer)

3. Render


Network thread


LOOP

	1.checks if there is anything in the buffer (global/shared between all port threads)

	2.sends stuff if there is

	3.check for client

	4.put in server buffer


Server Loop

------

(FRAME LIMITED)

1. Check network buffer for updates

2. Do game logic

3. Puts stuff in the port threads to send


SERVER network logic

------

HUB THREAD

Waits for connections on port 24800 (TCP)

Everytime it gets a connection it then re-routes to inc. ports from 24801 to +maxplayers.

Spawns a new PORT THREAD


PORT THREAD(port x)

Opens/listens on x (TCP)

Has a timeout FIXED, 60seconds, disconnects if no connection

Otherwise if client connects, they are added to game and game logic takes place

init phase over,

LOOP

	1.checks if there is anything in the buffer (global/shared between all port threads)

	2.sends stuff if there is

	3.check for client

	4.put in server buffer
