Tasks

• Detect intentional disconnections from server

Issues

• Sending state every server tick breaks the game
  • Reason:
    • client_sync won't return until there's no more messages to receive
    • Its buffer can't hold all the states the server sent since the last client_sync call
  • Solutions:
    1. Bigger buffer (current choice)
    2. Limit the number of messages client_sync can read in one call
    3. Lower the rate at which the server sends state
