Nice!! ..if one watches long enough Phalanx/Atari ST demos should appear.

Made a number of screens in that group around 1990 :-)


Well a zero sum game would be pretty awesome, wouldn't it? ..Free fuel etc.


Ah nice! ..wonder if mnesia_ext is bundled with leveldb support?


I'd rather have Bitcask or RocksDB - something that has better crash recovery capabilities. LevelDB was marked as being prone to data corruption. DETS has similar problems when not closed properly.


> LMDB was marked as being prone to data corruption

Don't know where you got your information from, but LMDB is verified as the safest storage engine:

Sorry, I was thing about LevelDB. ANd yes, you are right about LMDB!


DETS is supposed to repair itself on startup. I think most crash-only systems work that way (on startup, start reading from end and find last consistent bit and chop off the rest). But there could obviously been a bug there.


I have a very modest experience with it, but when a crash happened it was game-over for it. Maybe I was doing something wrong.


No. The actual ext is something you have to provide yourself.


looks great!


Looks great! ..I like the fact its built on top of proven technology like ZFS and Riak core.


I found the article great in that it articulates thoughts I have had over the years.


It was a good read


Impressive! Great work.


Many games are played 'bullet' style - i.e. 60s each for the whole game.


Very nice! ... was looking for something like this for some experiments, thanks.


Thanks!


Great work!

Looking forward to ponder on it.
