Multi-user card game

[teamatomic]

I'm writing a batch of games and such. Lottery is finished, Poker,blackjack,etc are next. They will be multi-user. I've got the multi-deck shoe and dealing table done and other parts rough coded. What I would like from the gang is:

 

From someone(s) who did a multi-player something. I dont want code just a linear view of how you handled users in and out of a continuing game.

 

Thanks

I've never worked in that area of PHP, but i think sessions come in handy when handling people joining and leaving, if there are 8 seats have $_SESSION[1] and onwards, change the session time to less so if someone quits or leaves unexpectedly, it will drop them automatically in a certain amount of time.

 

And also to make it live are you using ajax or what's the deal? hehe

Yes, I do use sessions but there are limitations with them.

 

As to AJAX, I've been playing with and extending a framework called dutchpipe

http://dutchpipe.org

It does not seem to be supported or under development any longer but its OS and if it works out maybe I'll call mine a port and see if I can generate any interest in it.
