We have enough lobbies

Well just a thought...

Java Swing and AWT Standard API Framework's are absolute pants in my opinion. Hideous and cumbersome in their use. Functional sure but don't really promote a 'polished' professional image.

?

Where does java come in

Java and awt are indeed pants, hence why I use java and swing instead.

But the current default lobby ( TASClient ) is not java, it is delphi.

Also due to the nature of the lobby it would not be possible to implement an ajax lobby in a normal web browser as anything more than a chat only client.

I already wrote part of a web-based lobby in Flash. (it connects and talks in one channel atm)
An AJAX lobby would probably either need special support in the server or a mediation server... battles can actually be launched by assigning a handler to spring://ip/everythingurlencoded or making a pregame script loader.

Too much hassle to do it that way. Although I never denied it was impossible to write a chat client in a browser, iamacup did it =p

I've been working mostly in python lately, and I miss swing.
