game simulation

[NZ_Kiwis]

I feel I prefer building my new game design in PHP/JQ/JS for web platform over C# however I've got the following issue

1. My game will run over a period of time (months then year). At each interval I want to preform tasks. How can I redirect to a new page after an interval but also not have that interval reset if a user goes from one page to another.

Moved to the appropriate forum (you can't get more general than "I want to do a thing. How?"

I'd even hazard a guess to say that the ClientSide Technologies forum is a bit more appropriate, but the question is so broad that I'm not sure.

I guess a high level overview of what I think you're wanting to do might be: Store the interval end time in a server-side location (session, DB, etc.). On each page load, determine how long the client should way before performing the redirect, and generate the appropriate client-side output (Javascript, <meta> refresh tag, etc.) to accomplish the redirect.

An alternate method might be to use some AJAX on the client-side that periodically polls a script on your server to see if it's time to redirect yet.
