Multiplayer game on Google App Engine

I would like to make a multiplayer game on the app engine. And the channel api gives me another reason to choose the app engine over a lot of other services. Has anyone tried this?

I understand how about go about a turn based game but I am stuck on how to go about something that has multiple users each contributing to others users experience. Any help would be appreciated.

  1. Db modeling
  2. Anything to keep in mind.
  3. Js clients.

Take a look at the Channel API, it has a very good description of what it's current capabilities are.

The TIC TAC TOE example project (created by moishel, one of the creators of google's Channel API) contains a two player game that utilizes the Channel API. It uses the Channel API to communicate game states to both players. Mind the "Caveats" section -- "One Client Per Client ID" and "One Client Per Channel Per Page".
