Ok, new idea.
Web game;
Two contestants chat.
Two person chat visiable to all people joining game.
Viewers get to vote every X seconds (i.e. can change previous vote if desired).
Total number of voters updated to all viewers and contestants screens every x seconds (prob in sync to viewers voting timing).
End of X minutes chat stops and person with the max votes wins.
I would imagine most of this stuff could be done with PHP (the basis of the rest of the site) but the concern is the best way to handle viewer updates and wanting minimal setup on the client machine (flash I can live with, Java code or the like would rather not if possible).
Graphics for the viewing panel is to be cartoony based.
Any suggestions or does Flash look the best bet ?
Regards
