TheoLabs: TheoWorlds Builder v2 (demo#5)

TheoWorlds Builder v2 (TheoSDK 2) - the next generation platform for building online games and avatar chat worlds (currently in development) - has been updated with new features:

• Complex collision detection with conflict solving - the characters avoid stepping on each other's tiles and automatically resolve the conflicts without using the server.
• Internet lag compensation - the characters are synchronized through Dead Reckoning algorithm. The delay in communication is smoothed through adjusting the animation speed, so characters get to the destination at the same time on both screens. You can use the "latency" box to emulate the latency for each chat up to 1 sec (1000 ms).
