General improvements

Multiplayer in Development
Besides working on polish, our main focus at the moment is getting a multiplayer build up and running. 

So far we have implemented a lobby system. See image below:

We have a plan for how to implement the rest of the network code, but it's hard to estimate how long it will take.
