Use with no predictions

[progre]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to set prediction to 0.
Currently it crashs with max_prediction 0 or 1.

Describe the solution you'd like
I wish ggrs supports no predictions.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently I implement on udp without ggrs, but it needs to newly implement delays, synchronize, resend, and others.

Additional context
This would be useful when it is difficult to provide savestate, ex; unofficial netbattle project.

Hi, thanks for the feature request!

I was unable to replicate a crash with max_prediction set to 1, the p2p example works for me.

I was able to replicate the crash when max_prediction is set to 0.
With the way inputs are currently handled, there is no trivial way to include "lockstep" functionality without any predictions. I will see If I can find an elegant way to make it work. But no promises :)

Thanks for your reply.
I set max_prediction to 1, it crashed when one peer disconnected.

So far, I was not able to reproduce a crash with the p2p example with two players and max_prediction set to 1 when disconnecting one peer. Please let me know if you have any further info!

OK.
What I did was add .with_max_prediction_window(1); to the sample,
https://github.com/gschup/ggrs/blob/main/examples/ex_game/ex_game_p2p.rs#L49

started the program as documented,
https://github.com/gschup/ggrs/blob/main/examples/README.md?plain=1#L40

and, after the number of frames in both windows had been counted up, I used Ctrl+C to terminate the program.

Tested on windows & mac, rustc v1.72.0

PR #79 will enable lockstep behaviour without any predictions.

This can be closed now that #79 is merged, or perhaps we should wait until #88 is merged.
