Wappler General Need Help
1

Hey all,

Would like a little advice on wappler being a good fit.

We are building a scoring system for a table top game, the game will be monitored and scored via an object tracking library and that data then needs to be scored and displayed realtime on a screen.
There will be tables with the scoring system running and they will all need to share a database of players.

The system must also be able to be run on our own server inhouse in the case the internet goes down.

The big questions here is can

  1. Can we have multiple scoring systems running without internet using a single database? (The systems would be on a local network)
  2. Can we feed data from openCV and display scores in realtime on the user interface? The realtime is important as scores can change from second to second

Hi. Welcome to the community.

Sockets are supported natively in Wappler when you select NodeJS as the server model.
So getting real-time data should be easy.

I don’t quite undertsand the other question about running local system. Are you looking for a offline-online sync system? Or a local DB like SQLite?

Can you tell me how sockets would work and is that bonded through app connect to bring display the data in real-time on the screen.
