Measuring Time on the server side? Best practice for turn based game

[Mickey79]

Hello,

What would be the best practice to measure time in a turn based game?

I was looking at room timeout, but to use that it would mean that for each turn I have to put the users in a new room?

Is there a solution where I can measure time serverside and keep users in the same room?

If yes I could use php, if not, we would need java that can measure a running process time.

Cheers,

G

I think I found it! It will be the Baton class for workflow which has timeout as well.

Hi There,

You could definitely use PHP or Java - we provide server integration

libraries for either. I don't exactly know what the use case is, so I can't

comment on what makes the most sense, but if it's not info that needs to be

totally secured, measuring on the client(s) can be a viable approach too.

Thanks Nigel, yes we just realized the Baton class measures timeout on the client side not the server side (meaning Adobe servers)

We will do this on our own server.
