[gameprogrammer] Re: Browser games

a little while ago i was working on an AJAX chat room where it was
using a mysql db to store what people said with a timestamp so every
second the browser would do an ajax request of a php page which would
send any new chat strings that happened since the person last checked.

it also maintained a user list like IRC so it was pretty cool.

It had some logic errors like it would sometimes repeat chat strings
etc but as a proof of concept thing it worked really awesomely.

I bet you could use the same technique to make a multiplayer (ie over
the internet) ajax game (:
