Bugs

• Bullet goes through after hitting
• Lag on slow networks
• On hitting edges, sometimes tank disappear and appear at other side of the cell (mainly at convex edges).
• Not loading mutiplayer on VM (Cannot GET /OnlinePlay.ejs/)
• "Teleporting" tank movement in online on heroku
• When tank dies, actual initialisation is somewhere else and it shows up somewhere else. On movement it goes to the actual position.

TO DO

• Correct Bullet Problems
• Reduce the size of JSON Objects sent over network
• Optimize correct bullet and player speed for good play
• Implement Prediction Model for reducing lag
• Fix screen resolution and resizing problem
• Decrease tank and game speed for smooth game

Minor Bugs and TODO's

• Favicon not found on index page (on VM)
• Fix the view of index page, controls page

Have Fun :-)
