Thanks everyone!
I dinkered around a bit with sessions last night, and once i figured out
that you cannot have anything else going on BEFORE you opena sesison, I
think that's the way to go.
since I'm making this project as my own learning experience, I'm not really
worried about security, or game hacking, etc.
thank you fro the help
