I would like to ask you for an advice for the best method to build a game.
The assumptions are:
- People join the game using QR code and submit a form with questions,
- Each 1 hour, it will be drawn randomly winner from all form entries,
- The winner will be displayed on the dashboard,
- In total will be around 10 winners,
- The winners’ dashboard should be displayed using a TV
My thoughts are:
- Create a website using WordPress with Gravity Forms (for the form quiz part). I choose WP to easily manage form quiz and game options.
- The dashboard with winners:
- Use JS with the setInterval() function that will check the time, and count down to the next draw,
- Using AJAX draw a winner and display the result on the board
My questions are:
- How I can prevent situations where the connected laptop via HDMI won’t go to sleep and any draw is missed. (The setInterval() function won’t work for a while).
- How to prevent if there will be Internet connection issues at the time of drawing.
- Maybe you have a better solution to create it using web technologies and display results on the TV.
