Observation

It is now possible to join and watch a game after it was launched. This is achieved by replaying series of deterministic inputs.

Lobby

A lot of work this month went into the lobby:

  • There is a chat and a user list with country flags,
  • The list of online matches now shows details such as map preview, game mode, and joined users.
