Dec 12, 2016 at 20:08 comment added Patrick Hughes Just something I note for my own experimenting: 1/60s. is unusually fast and I'll wager that most online games with more than 1x1 participation work at 1/10s. updates or thereabouts.

Jun 15, 2016 at 14:52 comment added OpherV @Tealr indeed, which is why I used the term "step" to begin with - I just wanted to make it clearer that the use of "step" is not limited to turn-based games, and in my game a step takes exactly 1/60 of a second regardless of rendering.

Jun 15, 2016 at 13:46 comment added Tealr Frames are different than steps. Steps move in a constant, predictable order. Frames move a variable amount of time, so any progression has to be multiplied by the delta time for that frame.
Jun 15, 2016 at 12:08 comment added OpherV Just to clarify - by "step" I mean "frame", which runs 60 times a second. I call it step (and not frame) to differentiate actual game progression from the rendering, and ideally they are both synched at 60 per second. I already implemented your version of server-side reconciliation which works brilliantly. This question only refers to the player ship - which is constantly moving regardless of player command (due to inertion). That is where my difficulty lies. Any thoughts on that? :)
