Pointers to building a chatroulette type app

Level 1

Hi.

I'm kinda new and was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers on this

I've seen some examples of using LCCS, like a basic videochat app for multiple users..but I want to know how a basic videochat app

for only TWO users would look like. i mean, something like the known chatroulette application - connecting users in pairs and letting

them "communicate" only with one other "free" user, not with all of them

thx

You'd build an application service that would get two users, generate one room and two authentication tokens for that room and have the two Flex clients connect to the newly generated room.

...then we'll have to shut you down if your service becomes as popular as chat roulette

Even if it would be commercial LCCS?

Thanks

and yea, isn't LCCS supposed to be for commercial uses, meaning it can handle a heavy server load (granted the developer pays enough)?

Yes, LCCS is for commercial use, so granted the developer pays enough, follows the TOU for usage and content, and uses the system properly it should be able to handle the load.

Why'd you say "you'll have to shut me down if the service beomes too popular"? I know it was "for jokes", but based on what?
