Thats been stated already.
Granted, but there is the OpenGL....
Um, what? Its the best there is right now for something as accurate as GPL.
About the only thing I can think of that they truly might want to correct is
how they handle multiplayer collisions to help avoid some of the weirdness
that happens. :)
already, nothing in the
to complain about?
True enough.

I should've pointed out I don't want/need/lust after any of the options I mentioned.

But the possibility is there, that the server could do all the AI
calculations while the client has only to do your car, the graphics
and the positional updates.
Only if the AI calculations are more cpu intensive than the server
updates, it would be worthwhile, of course.
I compare it with Quake2, there is a definite gain when running a
dedicated server with 5 or 6 bots. The path finding for those ***s
is now done by the server and not the client -> much better frame rate.

Can't imagine trying to write a game that was written groundup to be
multiplayer of the complexity of GPL in any other manner.
