It is hopefully straightforward in some way to iron out that need to refresh even though the live update appears to be happening properly.

Then we can see that the leaves of our hyperdocument are fragments of markdown, which generate xml we use to write composite structures. In my case [I will generate that from common lisp s-expressions via xhtmlambda like we were doing before for rss](/momentary/working-on-rss/).

This adds up to a hyperconnected memory game in browser NOT SEPARATED BY SESSION YOU ARE SHARING THE CARDS WITH EVERYONE, kitteny but otherwise similar to my McCLIM repl one yesterday.

Kitten does not include drawing and animating __the xml / web elements__, so marquee text will have to come from somewhere else. However I think a reasonable span of graphical and animated games will be possible basically using sound, animated gifs and video and non-ambulatory web *xml*.

I think Aral and the other Kittenfolk basically want people to implement in Kitten as such (like how you write fragments of markdown, a popular human-writable-but-ends-up-as-a-web-page beast. I like the fact that the fragments end up as xml so I can just generate the xml of a lisp cons tree, and I get a technical kitten animal like this.

Once my websockets are well and truly working, and I introduce per session data, I will see how this integrates with itch.io's externally hosted webgame games. On the topic of what a server does per se, while a memory game is simple enough to have the server just perform, I am also thinking of a webserver as a game table. Then, one of the players might be a game master who navigates game NPCs for the other players in real time. Or like the dealer at a card game table (the table is the server). The Game Master might be a good old fashioned ai whose mechanical flesh is hewn from my leonardo system.

See you [on the Mastodon thread](https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/115925979211507009) as always please.

[Show tomorrow](https://communitymedia.video/c/screwtape_channel/videos)! I did not ask Kent or Ramin if they are free so it might just be me, probably recapitulating this article and reconnecting with my fellow [lambdaMOO](https://lambda.moo.mud.org) players.
