So far, you've made some major improvements to your game: you've reduced your game updates to a reasonable level; retained the smooth animation thanks to the magic of interpolation and extrapolation; and dealt with the normal and abnormal ways players can leave a game.

Here's the completed project for this part of the tutorial.

There are still a number of improvements left to do before you can call your game finished, though:

Handling messages arriving out-of-order
Running your cross-platform game on Android
Running your game with more than two players
Discovering a BIG DARK SECRET about multiplayer tutorials :]

So stay tuned! You'll cover these issues (and more!) in the Part 4 of this multiplayer tutorial. As always, if you have comments or questions, feel free to join the discussion below!
