Itās really sort of random who joins first when the host starts the game, but the host is bound to joined the game first.
Thereās a lot of factors in this, like how easily the computer can load into the game.

Is it really random? I thought it was whoever joined the lobby first.

Thatās what I thought too, hmmm, wait, hold on a second.
You know that thing where if two players are tied on the leaderboard, one will be ahead of the other, right? Thatās not a coincidence for who it is. I found out (with the help of my friend) that itās in reverse alphabetical order (hence they would spawn in zzzzzzz just in case they kept up with me).
Donāt remember much else, but that could be related? Although it wouldnāt make sense with AUOā¦

nah, its just that sorting lists alphabetically is one of the most convenient ways to do so in code. most likely.

Thatās what I thought as well, but I didnāt test it with enough players to know for sure.

In the code, players are stored in a list in the order they joined. Eg, [player1, player2, player3]. When collisions are computed, this list is looped over, and players earlier in the list are checked first.
