School assignments are over and so I am now free to get back to work on Rivalry! However I wasn’t able to achieve as much as I had hoped for this week as I had to work on upgrading components of my local test server including my version of windows.

I did manage to fix a bug which posed a major risk towards the server. If someone were to quit and rejoin after their network connection dropped out while they were in a game. Then that person's game would remain as a broken game that people could join but never destroy. Technically people could create as many of these games as they wanted creating a huge list of broken games. So far I believe that this effect can no longer be recreated as once you rejoin after quitting the server now deletes your previous game.

Pending tasks are now

• Various networking bug fixes.
• Audio Notification that a game has started.
• Chat System (Keeping in theme with the game).
• Leaderboard (I need to think of an algorithm that can't be exploited).
• Complete network game lobby UI (make pretty and complete all network game modes).
• Complete network game restart UI (make pretty).
• Research player skins.
• Research different arenas and backgrounds.
• General bug fixing, tidy up and enhancement of look and feel..
