Abstract

A solution for network latency inherent in a multiplayer online game involving more than two players. The solution is a dynamic re-sequencing and synchronization mechanism that enables seamless and simultaneous participation by remote users, such that an event can have an immediate and consequential effect on a related event without the unwanted effects resulting from network latency.
