Dear Chris and all,

Hi, I am considering a setting where an object is given to the players in a first-come-first-serve manner. Each player can claim an object by pressing a button and a player will get a good if he presses the button first. I am trying to implement this using livepage, doing something like:

def live_method(player, claim):
    if group.good_available:
        player.claimed = True
        group.good_available = False
        group.advance_participants()

I wonder how the server deals with the messages if they come almost simultaneously. I worry that if the timing at which two players press the button is close enough, both will get the object.

Thank you

The server is single threaded so there won’t be race conditions.
