Should be easy with the new Web Sockets. However the JavaScript could need to better structuring, are there any thoughts on Frameworks for the DOM elements and stuff like that? I'm thinking ReactJS would be pretty nice for drawing the interface, but there are other options.
@Saturate I second the notion to use ReactJS
The issue isn't if we should implement it; the issue is who is going to implement it.
We need the issue for visibility, @jmeyer2k. I'm not necessarily for or against react/a different framework, but remember that limits a lot of contributions. I'd be fine with just modularizing the code into multiple files, or at least adapting a more readable style.
I'm currently working on modularizing the code, though it's extremely messy atm and might take a lot of time.
In not thinking ReactJS just because it's want I want to work with, I think the redraw nature and Virtual DOM would be quite handy for us, and the kind of data we are working with,
Another option could be MithrilJS, but quite frankly the documentation is not that good and almost no body knows it.
I could put some time into this, but it would be best if we agreed on a framework that most of us know.
