I know that I cannot share Client IDs between multiple users, but I
still need something like a broadcast message system.
Today, users make requests in regular intervals to get the update of
the information, let's say a timer counting down like a bomb, each
client asks the server how much time left to the bomb explodes and the
server answer the time, and it is made every second until the bomb
explods (oh god, this thread will be tracked by USA).
When I first saw Channel API I thought that in the future I could just
do a simple send_message("120") (which means 2 minutes) and every
client would get the information, but now with the release 1.4 I know
that I can't do it. Instead I was wondering how I could use Channel
API to reduce my request count.
The first solution that came to me is to made an eternal loop (that
would eventualy die in 10 minutes) in which I would loop across all
the users (yet to know who is online) and send them the time.
Actually, this is the only solution I got in mind, does someone have a
better idea?
