After reviewing how my app was working I went ahead for performance shake and kicked my server over from a 0 second select loop non blocking server to a blocking server. One select to rule them out.

I think i will try to sap from you guys.
Im a bit tired. So for my first small game,
what do you guys think I should try for?
I.E. Im trying to do something along the lines of a command line idea such as word jumble, which I have already done. Or like a command prompt version of tic tac toe.
Any Ideas …
