|Ant couldn't run client
|The jar file in which the client was distributed did not contain the necessary remote interfaces to run succesfully. A refactoring of the packages and changes to build.xml was required to fix. <br><br><b>EDIT:</b> This bug fix worked for a few days and then for some unknown reason the server began to crash when the client was run from ant (couldn't find the classes within the server.jar!?!)

|Client crash when enter server info
|No error checking to prevent user from typing in alphabets in the server address field, client exits and crashes without warning
<pre>
     [java] Getting info from text fields

|User created game when they havn't
|When a user logs into the lobby, the client thinks that the user has created a game when he hasn't, and therefore when others try to join they crash
<pre>     [java] at client.GameRunnable.doGameStuff(GameRunnable.java:253)
     [java] at client.GameRunnable$7.actionPerformed(GameRunnable.java:205)
</pre>

|Creating or joining game when none is selected
|Client crashes and throws lots of unpleasant exceptions if the user doesn't select a game and attempts to click the corresponding button to create/join a game (in lobby)

===Limitations===
No clear extensible point in order for the developer to build their game, you have to know the whole engine to determine what you need to do and where you need to do it in for your game to work


===Usability Issues===
*When a user creates a game, they have no indication on what the status of the system is, eg waiting for 1 more player to join your game
*Similar to the first limitation - lack of modularity =/. When one particular feature needs to be changed/fixed/whatever its not often clear where exactly the relevant code will be located.
*Slight ambiguity in the lobby, user can select both a game to create and a game to join. Not a major issue but could be confusing. (Possible solution would be to unselect anything in the create column when an item is selected in the join column and vice versa).
