Hackathon


Two Chicago Erlangers will be doing something similar to this, for the Hackathon at Pumping Station in our fair city .

They are planning on putting together an interactive multiuser game with a Javascript client running in the browser connecting to an Erlang backend running in a Mochiweb server. It'll use long-polling comet to keep the players' browsers updated.

If anyone else in the area is interested in coding for 16 or so hours with them send email to our mailing list at ceug@googlegroups.com.
