From: Raj Sahae Date: 2007-02-21T07:25:43+09:00 Subject: need help with a general concept I'm trying to make an application with the following properties: It uses FXRuby It's a multiplayer turn based card game Played over a network, or the internet Players may play cards during other players turns Players may manipulate their own components at any time Players can make requests for info on any other players components at any time I originally planned to use threading, but I didn't know that Ruby blocked IO in threads. Is there a better way to implement this type of game than using threads and sockets? I am somewhat new to ruby, I wouldn't consider myself an average ability ruby coder yet. How should I go about this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
