Things…

Filed under: Uncategorized — SirGolan @ 1:14 am

Things that I’m unhappy about leaving out from the first open source MV3D release:

  • Trees and Grass. They got lost in a refactor (since they were a hack) and were never reimplemented correctly.
  • The in game editor. It’s dead Jim, kick it if you don’t believe me. Implementation sucks anyway.
  • More stable data storage. Not that I’ve had any problems with it, but showed me the light (as usual).
  • A Linuxy easy install
  • Load balancing. Borked a while ago with some change and never updated.
  • All your CPU are belong to simulation service. It uses as much CPU time as possible currently when it should probably calm down a bit if nothing is going on. Easy fix, but next release.

Things I need to get ready before said release:

  • Need to set up one of the MV3D server boxes as an account/directory/asset server.
  • Need to QA / fix bugs.
  • Need to settle the license issue (which to use).
  • Need to do some load testing

Things I’m happy with about the release:

  • The authentication. Is very nice.
  • Stability(*).

    >>> print float(s.Uptime())/60/60/24, "days"
    206.242458476 days

  • The code cleanup. Modules make way more sense now, and everything is Twisted coding style.
  • That the foundation / framework should now be in a stable state and ready to build more complex things on top of.
  • Modularity / flexibility. I’m loving the new service setup.
  • The JSON RPC over HTTP. Is pretty cool.
  • Errors! Well, error messages. Don’t know what I was thinking before (mostly it was a lack of understanding on how to properly handle errors in Twisted), but errors used to get silently ignored more often than not.

Things I hope to have in the next release:

  • A shorter dev cycle.. 1+ years is too long between releases.
  • More unit tests.
  • Better logging.
  • Eye candy.
  • Working character generator.
  • No more need for Ogre’s “Media” folder
  • A persistent world. It’s possible now, but with no world editing tools, it is rather limited.
  • More web interfaces. Got one on the account service now which is very basic, but really nifty.

Things my cat just licked:

  • My printer
  • My scanner
  • My desk
  • The DVD I was printing (sorry Cheryll)
  • The paper label I was also printing
  • The trash bag in my trash basket
  • My monitor
  • My laptop
  • The VHS tape I transferred to DVD (sorry again Cheryll)
  • The floor
  • My other cat
  • Himself
  • The feather cat toy he just dragged in that is 2.5x his length

His favorite of the five senses is taste apparently. And I think he’s giving me a hint with the toy, so better wrap this up.

(*) I’ll be very sad in a few days when I shut down that MV3D server process to upgrade it.
