[Rails] Re: Help with Web Game

You can do a lot with HTML5: http://techcrunch.com/2010/04/01/google-html5-quake/

and it has the advantage of letting you put together an app for the
iPhone/iPad while bypassing Apple's requirements for AppStore.

When Chrome beta first came out and I heard it had the ability to
create app shortcuts on the desktop, I realized you could package a
web game in what appears to be a desktop app. The installer would just
check if Chrome is available and if not, it'd download it for you.

Chrome comes with Google Gears, so you can use a local SQL store,
though I'm not sure how well that'd work with your game. Maybe as a
cache.

I'd like to talk to you more about the game off this list/forum. Using
Rails to write a web-based turn-based game has been something I've
been messing with in my head for a while.
