[ODE] MM games (was "looks like i am moving on")

[Chris Brodie]

Why send the object coordinates.

If all simulations are started at the same state, the simulation will occur completely syncronised on all machines unless affected by external actions, like players. 

Why not just add the same action from all players to all simulations. Do a search on the technique known as lockstep... If you look up 'Brad Pickering' who used this on Battlezone II you may find some source code...
