- On the results, everyone but the winner splats tomatoes where they
click (bots aim at the winner), with a new splat sound.
- During a match the menu has the item tabs (choosing when the
countdown allows, and otherwise levelling the sandbox's levels for
when you're back), Play (the game's rules) and Settings.
- Pings are shared through the server (protocol 4), so other players'
connection bars show over their heads and on their windows.
- PvP comes into lobbies with your profile and is saved.
- The choice menu opens by itself however the countdown began.
- Knocked-out fighters keep their buttons current, so Ready on the
results toggles once per press.
- The weapon wheel wraps both ways. Readying with empty slots plays
the equip sound for your own fighter.
- Shock Absorber: up to 50% less weapon movement and 33% less
knockback. Only the catalog previews the next level.

Lobbies hold 16 players and the sandbox 16 fighters, games up to 8. The arena
gets spawns 5-8 (outer ledges and middle platforms) and the race start eight
places. The sandbox adds eight more spawns, each the open spot farthest from
the rest. Rival cards wrap into rows of four, the lobby's player list goes to
two tiny columns when crowded, and the server keeps frame packets to one
datagram. Formatted with clang-format.

The server now runs every lobby's sandbox and queued games as rooms, stepped at
the tick rate on one thread. Players send controls ahead of time, late ones repeat
their last, and everyone in a room gets back the controls it played, its events
and checksums. Games start from sandbox queues, players return when they leave,
and play-again moves them to a fresh room. Protocol version 3.

Profile, member join/leave and building a fresh game move into the sim library,
and the packet reader and writer into protocol.h, so the server can run lobbies
exactly as clients do.
