Prediction
A local visual proxy responds immediately to movement, rotation, distance, and throw input.

Predicted Physics Grabber
Responsive locally. Trusted globally.
A telekinesis-style physics interaction that compares delayed server movement with client prediction, authoritative snapshots, and visual reconciliation.

Under the hood
The decisions behind the build.
Authority
The server validates ownership, targets, acceleration, throw velocity, and request rate.
Reconciliation
Acknowledged inputs are removed and prediction errors blend toward authoritative snapshots.
Network lab
Built-in latency, jitter, packet-loss presets, server ghost, correction line, and error graph.
What I built
- Separated immediate local presentation from server-owned gameplay state.
- Implemented sequenced inputs, acknowledgements, snapshot processing, correction blending, and error tracking.
- Built server validation, rate limiting, controlled exploit tests, artificial latency, and a live networking dashboard.
