Today during testing, I hit a rather nasty issue with the framework.
When coding the Online Scoreboard component, I added a 5 second timeout to the code.
Unfortunately, as well as that works "in theory", the timeout is completely ignored during the "connect" part of the script.

-=-=-

Basically, the script says
A) Connect to server
B) Send Latest Scores
C) Get Back Scoreboard Table

B and C will obey the timeout, but A currently doesn't.
I can easily test B and C by adding a delay to the script it's requesting, but A is harder to test*...

At the end of a round, the game tried to upload my highscore, but completely stuck for what must've been about a minute, as the server was being "weird", during which time no interaction was working at all with the game.
Couldn't quit, couldn't Alt+Tab out.. Nothing..

So, that definitely needs fixing.

This week's game may be delayed as a result!

I need to learn about timeouts and possibly even the dreaded realm of threading. eeek!

* After some googling, the preferred method seems to be to try to connect to things like 10.255.255.1 I'll be attempting that, shortly.
