The last packet that actually started the gameplay and mapped the users information, was the hardest
to understand.

Nice. From what I've heard the structure is more or less like pso. Just as if chuchu rocket was the testing grounds for the pso network protocol and structure. Is it true?

I'd like to know more about it, add me to skype :)

Yes, it is pretty much a light version of PSO, so it's pretty easy to see where PSO protocol
came from.

Nice. Did you reverse engineer it from scratch? Did you have some reference, insights, code or anything to work from as a start? That'd be a nice story :)

BTW, I just added the PR protocol to the wiki.

Thanks Neoblast, will update with the protocol for ChuChu so you can see that you were spot on with the PSO similarity
