"Multiplayer" apps

[Jacob Lyles]

I'm currently building a web app that allows two or more users to
communicate with each other in real time (a "multiplayer" app, so to
speak) and I was hoping the mailing list would have some ideas on how
to do this. This steps outside the mold of most CRUD apps which
involve allowing a user to save and modify just his own data, so I'm a
bit lost.

I am tracking sessions using a db store and my initial thought was to
query the DB and see which sessions were active, then pair up users
based on session id and show users in a pair the same page. However,
the database does not track which sessions are active, so this will
not work (my database has session_id, atime, and data fields following
the demo at http://webpy.org/cookbook/sessions).

At this point, I'm a little lost, and I would appreciate any advice
from my more experienced peers.

Cheers,
Jacob
