Description: This third and final tutorial takes us back once more to the "Lacewing Shooty Game" where we dive back into the guts of the movement and replace all our delimited strings with stacks, in order to optimise the messages we send. We then finally add the shooting part by appointing a peer as a channel host.

Channel hosting is a built in part of Lacewing. That cannot be done without make your own server.

[Johnny]

you dont understand me, Sorry bad english

Channel Master leave = make a new user to Channel master, no close the channel!

[LB]

I told you, that is not possible without scripting your own server. You can choose to make the channel stay open if the channel master leaves, but you cannot assign a new channel master. Once the channel master leaves, that's that.

Well that's dumb.

Well that's dumb.
