I have taken a big step toward making Game Courier more suitable for games played in real-time. I have removed the automatic page refreshing when you hit the Continue button, and I have replaced this with a bit of AJAX that periodically checks whether it is your turn again, then refreshes the page once it is your turn again. I still have more things to do to better support real-time play. One is to include a starting time in invitations for real-time games. Another is to add an audible alert when it is your turn again. I might include a selection of sounds and give players a choice.
