Before I make any decisions about premium memberships and all that, I decided I needed to make Serpentine run better for people. The game should be less laggy, the words chart should show up every time, and mousing should work better. So today and yesterday I rewrote parts of the server and the game to be more efficient, hopefully fixing some of the lag issues and the word chart issue. Please leave your feedback in the comments section and let me know if you notice any difference, good or bad.

FYI, you may need to refresh your browser in the lobby and in the game. Otherwise, the game will not work.

Update: We ran into some unintended snags and I had to revert the changes back, so the word chart is back to being buggy.
