MMO Prototype

  I took the time this week to fix the bugs that were present in  last week’s near-hour long demo . Now that a good amount of the basic systems are in place, yesterday I was able to work a little bit on the user interface and connecting it to some of the functionality you may have seen previously. It’s great to see that things start to fall into place. Items can now be looted and exist in the inventory and the server dictates whenever or not the items fit in the grid.

The biggest feature of all (and the most complicated, considering what is going on) is something that can barely been shown: the Server-Authoritativeness of the game logic. Game clients have zero data about the game, don't do any game logic except for UI stuff and just displays what the server tells them to
