[Openme-developers] DP-OpenME Starting Soon

[Mitch H. <don...@ho...>]

I wanted to let everyone on the developers list know that I hope to be 
starting up a game of OpenME on my home server soon.

I don't see this game competing that much with the AdvancedPowers game.  My 
DSL line will only handle about 6-10 people at a time, and the feature set 
for this game hasn't changed much since the beginning of the last game.

I have two primary goals for my game:

(1) To test MySQL transaction-enabled InnoDB tables under actual OpenME game 
conditions.

(2) To maintain a simplified OpenME code base that is easier to install, and 
supports multiple SQL databases.

I'll try to update you on the MySQL expirement after I've let it run for a 
while.

Hopefully, if I beat you guys in starting the game up, I'll have really high 
traffic for a few days until the new AdvancedPowers game starts up.  :)

That should provide a good stress test for the MySQL setup.

So far, from what I've seen while setting up the game, the 
transaction-enabled MySQL tables don't have the speed advantage of plain 
MySQL tables.  I'm curious to see what I get under game conditions with 
multiple people accessing the server.
