Gio Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Really good job man, I like it And I have a few questions for you, don't know if you can answer but I'd really like to know because I'm trying to make a multiplayer game too... On the technical side:- do you find xhr-longpolling quite expensive in terms of server resources? how many people do you reckon you can have on one server at the same time?- do you have a strategy to scale to multiple servers if needed?- if I play one version (say the chrome web app version) can I play against people who are playing a different version? (say the mobile web one) On the publishing side:- where did you get the adverts for the desktop and mobile version?- where is it hosted and does it cost much to host?

PrzemyslawSzczepaniak Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks a lot Sorry for late response, check out my answers below: On the technical side:- we are using nodejs and so far it doesn't seem to be a problem- not yet- yes On the publishing side:- AdSense and Leadbot- we have our own dedicated server Gio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gio Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Thanks for that. AdSense is risky, but I'm tempted to give it a go for the desktop version of my game. I thought you were using node.js and socket.io (some of the tcp requests from your game looked familiar ). The thing is that on IIS7 (that is Windows 7 and Windows Server), socket.io cannot use websockets, and the transport mechanism is degraded to xhr-longpolling. I was asking because in my experiments (involving only a dozen people, so they may be wrong), this was using more than double the resources than websockets. If you ever run into problems because you have too many people connected at the same time (which I hope you do, because then you'd be earning lots of money), you could consider moving the server to a Windows 8 machine, which would enable websockets without changing a single line of code and in theory you'd be able to support twice as many users. Anyway, good luck with your game. I've had some good fun playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
