I've found if I just live and do things I normally do, for some reason I get people who want to be friendly. I don't really understand it. They're probably crazy.
How should I implement the physics on the server?
As per rasmuses answer to a similar question, you want to run the physics simulation on both the client and server. If the physics does not run on the client, then it will look very choppy. And if the physics does not run on the server, then ...
@AlexM. not really. I still don't have more than a couple people I call friends. I can't entirely hide my contempt for idiocy even when I try to be nice, so a lot of people end up disliking me soon enough.
perhaps figure out how many games can be updated in a single loop while still maintaining performance, then make a new thread for every x games? I've never made a server, just throwing something out there.
Yeah, but that means to have a World (with many objects on it; {2 objects per player + 10- 15 objects per map [every game will have a map] + spells/arrows(bullets)} * n. of games )
@JohnMcDonald Well, no, i will provide the gamer with more than one map, so he can choose one. I think i could create on the world the objects for each type of map then add users who choose that map to collide only with it and each other.
Doesn't hurt to start thinking about what bits are specific to a pair of players, and what can be shared among games. But I wouldn't try to optimize that at this stage
@Romeo That's what I would try first, yes. Keep the games fairly separate so that you could make small handful of threads to do the jobs, if you end up needing it
I don't even know how to say it, I'll paste my steam recommendation for it
this game has hors in it and you can do quests and all kinds of objects have levels and stats and you can run with the hors or something shit it I dont know but its better than call of duty
What is better for games when developing game loops, fixed time steps or variable time steps? What type of games are better with one or the other?
Variable time steps:
With variable time step, I mean physics updates will take in some sort of "time elapsed since last update" argument and hence ...
it's funny how I used the GitHub for Windows thing for a while, and it worked fine, but I never really learned what I was doing until BitBucket forced me to use the Git Bash
ur's. Asking because I don't want to fail horribly. Trust me - the code for minimal was shaaaaaaaaaammeeee so I need to read up more on good coding practices. List books I need to read if necessary :D
