hi,
we're developing an online interactive trivia game and need some help
with synchronizing client system time (or emulating that). the game will
have a few players in each room and scoring will depend on the time of the
answer.
the problem we're facing is any number of players in any number of
locations playing the game together without a time difference (which would
create an unfair advantage). how can we "force" client time to synchronize
with server time?
any thoughts?
