There has been some discussion about "Simulated chats" and whether I should add methods for them to MSN2.0. In addition, a few people have asked for more broadcast methods. I'd like your opinions.

Sim Chats - in my opinion, sim chats are not part of the MSN protocol and so they shouldn't be added (the protocol allows you to write sim chats and that should be enough).

More broadcast methods - some people have suggested that I include a couple more broadcast methods: one that allows you to broadcast to everyone EXCEPT yourself (presumably this would be used to do sim chats); one to broadcast to a list of usernames (although this is the same as calling tellUser for each name in the list), etc.

Comments?

i agree.. its not part of the protocol so it should'n be added. maybe another module should be written to do it.

actually it would be way better in a module.
you could then do things like:
Code:
$room = $sim->makeRoom($roomname);<br />$room->addUser($user);<br />$room->tellRoom($message,$fromuser);<br />@arrayofRooms = $sim->getRooms();<br />$room = $sim->getRoom($roomname);<br />etc....<br />

OK, cool. I don't see any reason to add methods to MSN.

Now the question is, who will write the first and who will write the best room module??!! Razz

I think a broadcast method for the Switchboard object that broadcast to all OTHER sockets would be good and kidna fit in with the protocol. I wouldn't be heart broken if it was left out though.
