Tonight I started the watch_dungeon screen. It uses long polling to update a status page that shows the progress of the dungeon. Ideally, this is what will be shown on the big screen in a real life event.
Long polling with Apache and PHP is not ideal, but the cool thing is, I could always write a tornado server to access the sqlite db and pull everything I need. This will be fine for now. I've never done long polling before, and it was pretty easy.
I need to work on the UI for it. The layout needs to fit on one screen. I also need to add the part where player's decisions appear, as well as the end of game "display dungeon log" screen. That all should be pretty easy. Then its on to testing by myself, then at long last, a group test.
