A friend of mine challenged me to create a game server
(http://asciiexpress.net/gameserver) native client. The problem is, how
do I have the Apple II tell a web browser where to go without adding
extra adapters to your Apple II (e.g. Uthernet) or setting up a
proprietary solution such as a custom server on iOS, OS/X, Windows, etc...?
I researched HTML5 audio capture and its not yet ubiquitous, and the
only browser that had an implementation (Chrome) could not be automated
without a click. Flash was an option, but then iOS would be excluded.
The the Game Server site was specifically targeted for smartphone and
table devices (iOS too). So I can up with this:
