Message format questions.

  The error-message frame diagram does not show a game-id field, but the
  description of the message fields says the second field is the game id.
  Which is correct?

The error message should not have a gid field; the assignment's been fixed.
Thanks for pointing it out.

  Can messages be padded?

No; a message with more or fewer bytes than those specified in the assignment
is an invalid message.

  Is the order of message fields fixed, or can I change them to get better
  packing?

The field order is fixed; changing the order of the message fields from the
order given in the assignment results in an invalid message (assuming the
reordered fields are distinguishable).
