[ENet-discuss] Shooter Game

[Philip Bennefall]

I don't really agree here. P2p would work very well for shooter games, you 
simply use the person who starts the first connection as the server or 
implement some other way of choosing who deals with what tasks, maybe even 
split it over the different players to save each individual user's 
bandwidth. One player could handle judgements and timing, another could 
handle the player stats etc etc.

If I'm not mistaken, ENet was created for these exact purposes to begin 
with; fast action games.
