Maybe pj7's castle can be the Kentucky server.  That'd be cool.

Whatever happened to Nevada?

I think I found a memory leak in the OV client.  Check to see if the
arrays are cleaned up when users disconnect or change nicks.  I did a
memory dump and (thought I) saw data for users who were no longer
connected.

Maybe I'll tackle this one myself: I have written code to facilitate
moving in a STRAIGHT LINE (not a bent one like what we currently do).
It should be applied to avatar moving.  Also, there should be support
for objects sliding in the same way.  Currently, to make objects slide,
the server must update it at every step of the way (which takes up too
much bandwidth).

Oh, just a note: I reworked the PUSH logic.  Now it uses sqrt and atan2
and cos and sin and all thta good stuff.  I then tested it, and I found
that pushing is much more predictable.  If anybody wants a
demonstration, ask me.  The code for it is in my development server.
