Distributed systems

Wikipedia defines a distributed system as a “software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages.”

In modern world, more and more systems become distributed. Yet, surprisingly few authors write about practical architecture of distributed systems. As our Hare have architected all kinds of distributed systems, from a stock exchange to a billion-messages-a-day game, we’re in a very good position to fill this gap.

Client-Side. On Debugging Distributed Systems, Deterministic Logic, and Finite State Machines

December 7, 2015 by • “No Bugs” Bunny

Quote:

After your logic has failed in production, you can “replay” this inputs-log on your functionally identical in-house system, and the bug will be reproduced at the very same point where it has originally happened.

Another Quote:

You can implement your Finite State Machine as a deterministic variation of a usual event-driven program

Game Entities and Interactions

Abstract:

It is still too early to start architecting your game.

Quote:

Even more importantly, you need to be reasonably sure that you have listed all the interactions which you can think of at the moment.
