Some planning
-------------

* Server environment adds an active object, which gets the id 1
* The active object list is scanned for each client once in a while,
  and it finds out what objects have been added that are not known
  by the client yet. This scan is initiated by the server and the
  result ends up directly to the server.
* A network packet is created with the info and sent to the client.
