Will do when this is over. Right now I'm trying to prevent servers from melting. HN traffic...

You've done a great job! It's stayed very responsive for the time I've played. I haven't even noticed any dropped packets, so your method for dealing with them seems to be working very well despite the high load.

  Nothing too fancy. Just proper devops and a lot of testing. https://i.imgur.com/oSwGgFA.png https://i.imgur.com/oSwGgFA.png

    Where are you hosting it? That looks quite custom to gaming

      It better be! It's my homegrown panel that I use for all my projects.

        I would love to hear more about this dashboard in your write up. Would love to create something like this myself :)

        Do you have a blog or write ups about this process / your workflow / etc.? I feel as a novice I could learn a lot.

    That is fancy. It is actually so beautiful I got emotional.

      THE comboy of bitcoinity fame? I'm honored. I remember donating back in the day!

        Huh wow, thanks :) I need to make bitcoinity working as stable as airma.sh does. Congrats on the well earned success btw, clearly the game is here to stay. It would be sweet to be able to change fire from spacebar to something else. Spacebar tends to be big and loud.

    Is it an home made dashboard or do you use some standard tool?

Great job with the Game. Would love to read an article about how you developed this game and handled initial traffic.

Would be nice to know what you use for hit detection and interpolation, it seems very smooth!

Also want to show appreciation for your work. I tried to create a game similar to this (I spent 6 months on it). Very basic Geometry. Circles. I got the concept working well locally, but I ran into problems on how to deal with the networking. I got things running in Node with SocketIO and so on but there could be 400 players, each made of upto 8 moving pieces, and each can fire several times a second. I spent a lot of time on a book, "Real time collision detection" and generally I have fond memories of the whole project and trying different partition and slicing up space. However, how to package and deal with this snapshot of world "over the network" or for example "how to smooth any lag relative to the client"... this middle region was largely undocumented or ill accessible to me. I will look forward to when/if you write any thoughts.

  I will definitely do a write-up but you're right. It's really hard to find info on any of that online. A lot of trial and error.

    I am still playing :D

    Do you have a blog? Been visiting this daily to see if there's a new update about the write up on networking trial errors. :)
