Chat #19

Closed Choppra closed 7 years ago

Choppra commented 7 years ago

Is there anyway to get chat? Would that be possible?

felixms commented 7 years ago

The chat is broadcasted to all connected clients. However displaying the chat is not possible with ARC, because it does not respond to received packages from the BE server. (See #18) Even if this is done, you won't get very far, because PHP is not a suitable language for this situation. You would have to use some kind of daemon and check for packages every second. You would better use NodeJs, Golang or other programming languages.

If you REALLY wanted to integrate it and use PHP it might be an idea to have a CLI process with a constant connection which exposes an API or writes to a file/database. Or a websocket which keeps a connection to the server open (not sure how well this would scale).

If you do go down the websocket route let me know as I would be very interested.
