I just want you to know that your write-up of client/server architecture and programming was the single best resource that I used when exploring that area of software development. I read Valve's, Gaffer's, and yours, dozens of times each. Yours was the silver bullet. I also appreciated your examples at the end simulating a client/server model as those were very helpful. I made a really simple game with my knowledge [0], purely for exploration and fun, but I couldn't have done it without your articles.

Thanks for your kind words :)

Tried to try Joustme, but I couldn't get past "searching for opponent" :( Let's hope HN gives it a boost!

Thanks for trying it out! The reason you couldn't find an opponent is actually due to the fact that no one plays it (I skipped the part of actually showing this to people). The project was strictly exploratory and, for me at least, it served its purpose. Every now and then some of my friends will want to play a round of oddball or duel it out which has been an awesome experience! If you remember the arcade game JOUST, just imagine it as a multiplayer PvP and you probably have it pegged. Thanks again!
