maybe, yeah https://github.com/greevex/php-websocket this library looks totally easy to use, but it's old https://github.com/lemmingzshadow/php-websocket this is a much more recently updated library (forked from greevex') and it might be better... |

I've worked with Websockets, but they are indeed a bit meh. Socket.io provides a nice interface for it but it's still not perfect. I've been hacking around for part of the afternoon to make at least a small prototype, but there are some annoyances with Node - it's callback hell lol. |

How is android's socket interface? Oh would we be stuck doing it over http anyways with android? All the networking I've done with android has been http requests.... if we develop an http API, it would be easy to make a client in both Java for android and JavaScript for web... bit of latency and higher bandwidth that way, but come on, its 2012 and bandwidth is cheap .... and we can reduce it using clever tricks |

But rest assured, if you suddenly started using a lot, you'd be getting a call

There are websocket libraries for android, too......... socket.io and node.js are looking better and better, but I don't feel like learning something new right now I'll start making a plan, we can probably launch crossplatform pretty easily, especially if I'm not the only one working on it..... my side projects get pushed to the ... side... as soon as i get busy at work, but I got ahead of schedule over the long weekend so

Take a look at BrowserQuest .. They have a github which you could fork and make your engine off of |

I found it, got nostalgic of Mirage, and basically beat it (earned every achievement and got the best gear) in one sitting. Only took two hours tops, but still, tremendously fun. |

So I've started working on a super basic prototype, but I've hit my first kind of big snag - UI's using the canvas. I'm looking into it now, but there doesn't seem to be many good UI frameworks for the <canvas> tag, and re-implementing all of the UI functionalities that you'd expect (caret, text selection, copy / paste, etc.) is a huge pain in the ass. Lame.  Edit: Now that I'm looking at it, it seems that doing this is against best practice, and it's better to render DOM elements above the canvas. This could save quite a lot of hassle. |

take a look at stuff like tweenMax http://www.greensock.com/v12/ and paper.js http://paperjs.org but yes, I'd be tempted to do the UI outside of the canvas and do only the heavy duty drawing on it. Of course, it depends how complex you want the UI... but it absolutely positioned divs you can do just about anything amirite? |

Well, the system I've made so far allows you to create UI components either canvas-rendered or through a DOM element, while wrapping it all in a common interface (for things like positioning, dimensions, and focus) and it seems to work fine so far! |
