Dutch Clock Auction

#1 by OSubK

Dear Chris and all,

I want to implement a Dutch auction where the server sends a message (which is the current price) every second using livesend(). How should I do it?

Thank you

Hi, after reading through the documentation more carefully, I am in the impression that the server can only respond to the data from the client rather than actively sending data. So now I am thinking about letting the client send empty message to the server every second to remind the server to update price information. However, I don't think this is an elegant solution as it adds too much redundant communication. I wonder there is a more elegant solution.

Thank you
OSub
