Known issues

macOS is only single player

Probably due to issues with the tuple space goSpace macOS cannot play in a multiplayer game. Other clients cannot connect to the macOS space either.

Giving follow error message:

ErrReceiveMessage: read tcp4 172.20.10.5:51575->172.20.10.14:31416: read: connection reset by peer

macOS livelocking

Playing the game with too many server requests will lock the tuple space for a some time. It automatically resolves the deadlock and continues for 10-20 seconds.
