Functionality has been added to the main menu - rather than searching in some file, you can now enter your name in a "player profile" section. Additionally, when you choose 'Join Game' from the main menu, you are prompted for the host's IP address.
On the networking side of things, the game now elegantly handles disconnects and so the server truly is persistant. Players can now come and go as they please, and will correctly download the current score.
HLSL also makes its debut in the game tonight - Tankz now has full pixel shader(2.0) support. Should be interesting to see what kinds of effects I can come up with.
..wow that's an ugly tank.
