After the last devlog I had the basic controls for scrolling and zooming a larger level. Mostly for a laugh, I threw in 1000 units and set up a huge battle. Tha...
If you send positions with deltas, then do you send deltas when the position changes? If so it's near enough reinventing full updates, which use too much bandwidth for this project. If not then there's probably still going to be drift away from the true position, so you'd need something like full updates to occasionally correct it.
The bandwidth requirements for this project are pretty serious too - sending any data that is not strictly necessary could push the bandwidth over the 100 KiB/s goal.
Hmm yeah I guess that's true for the project you're making. That's interesting to think about!
