I'm not very efficient in javascript. I can perform a simple xmlhttprequest, it's easy enough. I'm looking into creating a simple real time browser game on a 2D map. Now, could someone provide a run down of how it would work with AJAX. How often should the code update the map? Does it loop without limit? etc. It's a real time game, meaning I'd like the players to find out the player next to them moved somewhere around the time it actually occurred.
