More progress has been made =D

First of all, a screenshot:

As you can see, I've added diagonal walls and a chat system. Theres also a crappy arrow showing which way to go at the very beginning, since some people were getting confused at the start of races.

The chat system works pretty much perfectly. It says when people join/leave and lets you chat anytime you are connected, both in lobby and while playing. Chatting wont be very practical during races, but other game modes will work well with chat.

I also feel I should explain what the lobby is. The pre-lobby is where you decide to host or which server to join. The actual lobby is a screen where it shows a list of whos in the server and the various game modes/maps/options. If you join while people are racing you will be stuck in the lobby until they finish, but you will also be in it while choosing game options/maps.

Anyway, I've also fixed it so you can host/join a game then leave and join/host again without restarting the exe. I'm actually starting to run out of important multiplayer code to add so I might start focusing on gameplay again. Or maybe I'll keep working on making the lobby completely awesome =p Either way, expect to see another new screen in blog 5.

Maybe expect a demo by blog 10 =p
