Basics out of the way:
130 km/80 mile train trip cross region in about 2 hours, testing the mobile network to see how the switch between the mobile towers would affect my gameplay experience.
Basically.. Quite awesome trip. Denmark has a really nice cell phone coverage, and I was pleased that I was able to stay connected to the internet about 80% of the time, with both minor and major holes in coverage. The game responded really well, and despite getting a few error messages when losing connection entirely, or roaming and then re-establishing connection, my playing experience was very nice
From my base knowledge having worked in the industry before, I'd say I've connected to about 20 different mobile towers along the way up here - obviously better connection in the Copenhagen (capital) area, and declining with the distance increasing.
The only thing I came across, is after roaming and reconnection to a new mobile tower, I got an error stating that my actions had run out or something like that? Basically the standard -1 auto error - it seems that if I retry the server enough times and do get connection again, I have to refresh (from mobile) in order to play again.. No big deal, honestly not a problem - it should be expected when travelling cross country and insisting on playing the game from ~20 different IP-adresses along the way
Well coded Stabby - I was actually surprised that I didn't get any weird buggy errors seeing as I kinda tried to rape your code
10/10, would do again - and will this Sunday when I go back home
