Hi im a newbie here!I wish to build a music website based around emec'in (MC'in)!The game would b built in2 the site!

There r 3 wayz MCz can battle online:

1)Vocally!(MCs rap to the music over a mic)(I dont plan on doin thiz 4 my site yet)

2)Forum(MCz post thier lyricz in a forum.Thiz iz the main way but there iz no time constrate so it givez the MC all the time in the world to write hiz lyric instead of off the top of hiz head)!

3)My way!I want a program where 2 peepz enter the room(spectators alloud 4 judgin who won)there would b a text box 2 input lyricz in(no copy,cut or paste function alloud in the box(2 stop peepz writin while the other iz rappin)there would also b a timer.The program would randomly determan who goez 1st then that person haz say 3minz 2 type and post their lyric(after the time period their text box becumz locked til thier turn again.

There iz no time constraint & the site iz stil in itz plannin stage.

I would b gr8ful 2 any 1 who could help me out wiv thiz az i cant program all that wel!Any sugestionz would b gr8 2!

Thanx!

Remember to not double post. Each forum has at least one person that specializes in it, so you have a very good chance of getting help. Everyone also gets to see the most recent posts so your odds increase.

For a web site like this, you need two things: a good chatroom, and good graphics. I suggest you go to http://sourceforge.net/search/ and look for an open source chatroom. (Look up "chat".) Try to look for chatroom that functions as a Java applet or a Flash movie. They both act in real time rather than chatrooms that rely on the HTML meta tag.

How good is your programming? Even if you get a premade chatroom, some of the features that you want sound unique, so you might have to modify some things to your liking. I recommend good graphics because obviously it helps out any game.

META Tags? Hell no!

I knew someone was going to flip out and post the JavaScript version. LOL. Even if you do use the JavaScript version, it won't be in real time. You could fake it by increasing the refresh rate, but that's just too annoying.

I have a little script where it actually does refresh nicely every 20 or so seconds, although it's not in real time obviously =oX
