  Thanks for your time 99Instances2Go. I was on this trail too, thanks to very old Trigonometry books, and Stack Overflow.

  Simple solution off the top of my head - if you're keeping track of the user accounts, have their spawn location coordinates multiplied by their chronological order number.

  Interesting... thanks.

  But, i don't think that accomplishes what I'm trying to do.

  I want to assign users to coordinates on a map as they create an account.

  Earlier account creators will be near the middle.

  Later accounts and re-spawns will be placed at the periphery, so that the players are placed in an ever widening circle.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Thanks guys, for your time.

  As far as resolution goes, I need it to be as fine as possible. What if player A's attack lands on player B's camp at nearly the same time as player C's attack? I want the first attacker to take the loot, so I need to update the defender's records before the second attack is resolved.

  I think I agree that a websockets/node.js solution is called for. However I am running a Zend PHP server which has some job queue functionality, so stay tuned.

  Thanks again.

  I need a server side job queue solution.

  Say a player sends an attack against an opposing player's city. That attack takes one hour to arrive. I want my app to resolve the combat after the hour has elapsed, even if the player is logged off or his session has expired.

  I need better resolution than something like a cron job can provide.

  Any suggestions?

  Not to nit pick, but it looks like you have more than seven sets there. I'm just saying. ;)

  From an article at Tom's Hardware: Which Web Browser Should I use for Android?

  Spoiler: It's Dolphin. This browser was especially impressive in HTML5 and Javascript performance.

  he two organizations currently responsible for the development of HTML have decided on a degree of separation and this means that in the future there will be two versions of HTML5 - the snapshot and the living standard.

  Good or bad? What does this mean for us?

  This wikipedia article should be of interest to game designers:

  Probability of Kill

  I hereby nominate this as the coolest wikipedia article title ever.
