Reaper Test

by levans, May 5, 2012, 12:32 AM

So, what was I testing?

Basically, I was testing a multi-user thinger called socket.io. I've been using it for a long time, it was used in The Vine, but have known about a major bug in it with reconnections that really prevents me from using it in production use. I just needed to kind of reacquaint myself with socket.io, so I put the small game of Reaper on it. I also wanted to see how stable it could be with lots of messages flying back and forth, which is the case in a bash fest such as a 5 minute reaper game.

Also, this was actually running on another computer than the main site, so it didn't cause any load issues on the main site. Note that classes were going on at the same time as this game. It was tested on an Amazon EC2 micro instance.

The results:
"levans","16.429","67"
"ahaanomegas","187.835","2298"
"Mrdavid445","28.582","476"
"Pina1234","58.374","586"
"PPrakash","300.009","3623"
"Binomial-theorem","287.390","3767"
"EpicSkills32","270.886","4000"
"bdejean","5.075","35"
"bluecarneal","101.226","1856"
"Mewto55555","17.142","269"
"r31415","45.892","1057"
"Hydroxide","72.499","1901"
"El_Ectric","31.579","942"
"lazorpenguin27143","5.008","161"

Was it stable enough? More importantly, does this mean that the vine may return (or any other practical application other than reaper)?

It was pretty stable, but no one ever lost connection, so the bug that socket.io has is still an issue. Could it be used for something productive? Maybe. As far as The Vine is concerned, it is a possibility that it will be back some day. I have a few of ideas for it which I think would be pretty cool. But then again, most of the ideas that I have that i think are cool tend to be lame.

The only reason I thought that I might have a chance is the fact that I started early. That game was fun. Can you make more of these reaper games (with a small time limit) and a 5 second reap wait or something?
