Okay, I've got a video demo up. My web host doesn't play exactly nice with Node.js, which is what I opted to implement the server-side in. Core functions are done, the server and clients are all tied together via WebSockets, which means latency is pretty good (although Firefox isn't so great, and I dread how it looks in IE). I'll figure out a different host later. The video gives an idea of how it behaves.

//I've only tested in Chrome, keep that in mind.

Very cool so far! --Randy (Talk) 18:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Most of the server side plumbing is done; the next step is to get it integrated with the client. And then to test the ever loving hell out of it. --t3knomanser 22:24, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Let me know how I can help with my designer skills. --Randy (Talk) 03:14, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

We'll talk about what you want to do. I'd really like to keep the UI very simple with minimal graphics, but there's one part where I can't do that- the figures. By hook or by crook, I'm going to need some top-down images, preferably SVG (I intend to make things scaleable eventually), but that's also a huge amount of effort. That's the biggest design challenge I can see. --t3knomanser 21:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Design is best when it is invisible, so I agree with keeping it simple. The figure images will be interesting to work on. --Randy (Talk) 13:37, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
