Great job. How do you prevent cheating? Are you validating every action on the server?

Basically, the only thing sent to the server are mouse clicks and keystrokes, which should make cheating difficult. In the past, people have used macros or programming to flood the server with mouse / key input, which caused performance issues. I now rate limit input, so if too much is sent too quickly it is just thrown away.

Um, when I try to access the site, I get this: http://gyazo.com/8b0d0be033b42c789cbfde821fc7a7e1 For posterity's sake, I'll explain the image: it's Norton blocking the site, citing an extremely vague 'drive-by download' threat: http://safeweb.norton.com/report/show?url=http:%2F%2Faberoth... The site owner may want to get in touch with Symantec to figure out what's going on.

Thanks for pointing this out! I went ahead and registered and disputed the 'threat', so hopefully this warning will go away once they have manually reviewed the site.
