Detect public parties on the same area network.

Would this be a geographical location that is stored based off of the creator of a party's position? can you go into more detail?

based64god commented 10 years ago

No, it would look for public parties that are on the same LAN.

Though doing it by geographic location could work as well.

well the site is getting to the point where it will be hosted on an actual website rather than a local machine. The geolocation feature would be easily implemented with HTML5 Geolocation.

But how easy is it to fake that information? I could totally see myself spoofing location packets so I can screw with the MeNexts of others.

that information is just as easy to fake as any other information you recieve from a user. This would not be a security feature to maintain the privacy of a party but more of a way to easily find the parties that are happening nearby. At least by my understanding.
