Playing with WebSockets

Today I spent some time with Tim at work, playing with WebSockets, a new HTML5 feature that only Google Chrome supports so far. WebSockets allow browsers to create and maintain open direct TCP connections to the server, allowing instant communication in both directions. This means that ajax polling is no longer needed to get updates from the server. Instead, the server can send a message directly to the browser at any point in time while the connection is open. Awesome!

Since we are currently working on a C# .Net project, we searched Internet and found this very cool example that we took as a base for a little multiuser game we were working on today: WebSocket Chat

The potential of WebSockets is incredible, specially for online games and multiuser applications.

MyGameOfLife source code

Almost a year ago I was learning some Cocoa and I decided it will be fun to implement a Cocoa based version of Conway’s Game of Life. Back then I didn’t publish the source code, not for any special reason. So now I have just uploaded it to Google Code. It’s not fully functional, since the last time I worked on it I was creating an structure editor. My idea was to create a library of structures, with drag&drop and import/export options.

If you are interested on working on the project, let me know :)
