When I focus on the server, move windows around, or open more clients, the ping skyrockets, giving the game a delay of 5-10 seconds, or losing connection all together. I feel like I'm using enet wrong; I never understood it in the first place.
Anyway, I'm hoping you guys can show me what I'm doing wrong, I'm completely stumped. Also, if you've got any tips as to how I could make my code better, please tell me! Thanks!
P.S. - stc is just a serialization (that's what it's called, right?) thing I wrote because I didn't understand how to use others.
