Requirements:

Minimize network traffic
Minimize memory usage
Minimize CPU usage

-Server
	-Receives commands from the players via the client
		-Processes the client's command
		-Responds with a change in the game state

-Client
	-Sends commands from the player to the server
		-Predicts the server response, starts doing the predicted action
		-Receives a response with a new game state
			-Somehow gets back to the server's recorded state
			-Stops doing the predicted action, starts doing the server's action
