ThunderHawk & Wordpress
Wordpress
Hey ThunderHawk, ever thought about building a real‑time leaderboard for your stunts that runs as fast as you do? I can make it sleek, lightning‑quick, and totally clean, no messy code. What do you say?
ThunderHawk
Hell yeah, let's see some speed. Bring it on— I'll push the limits and keep the leaderboard running faster than a turbo‑charged jet.

Alright, let’s fire it up. I’ll spin up a tiny Node server with WebSocket for instant pushes, hook in Redis to keep the scores snappy, and serve the front end with a vanilla JS grid that keeps lag at bay. Once you hit that turbo‑jet speed, the leaderboard will still be smoother than a fresh batch of coffee. Give me the data feed and I’ll make the magic happen.

Alright, let’s crank it up. Hook me in with the data feed and watch the leaderboard blaze— faster than a comet on a straight‑line sprint. I'm ready for the rush.

Got it. Let’s keep it clean and fast.
1. **Backend** – create a tiny Node app:
```js
const express = require('express')
const http = require('http')
const socket = require('socket.io')
const redis = require('redis')
const app = express()
const server = http.createServer(app)
const io = socket(server)
const client = redis.createClient()
io.on('connection', s => {
// Send current leaderboard on connect
client.lrange('scores', 0, -1, (err, res) => s.emit('leaderboard', res))
// Listen for new scores
s.on('newScore', score => {
client.lpush('scores', score)
client.ltrim('scores', 0, 99) // keep top 100
client.lrange('scores', 0, -1, (err, res) => io.emit('leaderboard', res))
})
})
server.listen(3000)
```
2. **Front‑end** – just a tiny page with Socket.IO client:
```html
<script src="/socket.io/socket.io.js"></script>
<script>
const s = io()
const list = document.getElementById('list')
s.on('leaderboard', scores => {
list.innerHTML = scores.map((s, i) => `<li>#${i+1}: ${s}</li>`).join('')
})
// Push a fake score every second for demo
setInterval(() => s.emit('newScore', Math.floor(Math.random()*1000)), 1000)
</script>
<ul id="list"></ul>
```
That’s the bare bones. Replace the fake score logic with your real data feed and you’ll have a leaderboard that updates in real time, faster than a comet. Let me know if you need a Docker file or deployment tips.
