Collaborative Toy Box

A distributed object-manipulation client. It's a little like collaborative editors, only instead of editing text, you move around various icons and images. Of course, all the users see the movement in real time, and a colored frame indicates who moves what.

What is the use?

There are many possibilities:

• playing board games
• route planning
• discussing schedules
• kisekae
• strategic battle games
• collaborative design
• etc.

How to make it?

Of course you'd need a client. Ideally, the client would be written in JavaScript, using AJAX and whatnot, embeded on a web page, so that you don't need to install anything and everyone can just go to the page and use it. Less perfect solution would involve a separate client application, or a plugin to one of popular instant messaging clients.
