since this is the greatest gathering of JS gurus all over the world, i have a question not directly related to Prototype and Scriptaculous. I need to mak a map of a certain part of the space (a system, sotosay). Displaying it is not a problem, panning and zooming works great (thanks to prototype). My question is mor design-related. In the sytem, i have spaceships that are moving on a know route, (via backgroundrb) so the database is updating every few seconds.
These changes shall be propagated to the user of the application, that works well via ajax calls an PeriodicalExecuter. I dont want the resolution of the executer keep as low as possible by interpolating the movement of the ships. You see, thats a complex problem (at least for me, although i think im no a bad programmer). and now my question: whats the best way to accomplish all this? i dont want the complete sourcecode, i want some ideas, because i think that my approach is ... unfitting, not to say shit.
How would you solve this? I really dot have any ideas anymore...
