I recommend that you take a look at the Alice client at Skotos (30
day free trial) -- in particular, look at how it is used in Castle
Marrach and in Grendel's Revenge.
It is an Active-X client (i.e. no install required, though it will
only work in Internet Explorer, but that is 85% of the visitors to
Skotos) sits on a web page and commincates with it. The web page can
have widgits that send info to the server through Alice, and Alice
can use DOM to change the web page. It is quite powerful and simple
client because we are leveraging the web.
You probably have more ambitious goals for your client, but it would
be a good baseline to look at.
