StackHeap Master Server

by Mike Kuklinski · 02/03/2008 (8:17 am) · 3 comments

I'm working on a new Master Server daemon as a replacement for Ben's Push Button server... I have it done to basic networking, and I should have a beta out either tonight or tomorrow.

Just letting you all know...

What I hope to have done by the beta:
- Static Core (single thread)

Actually, that's about it :D. I just want to make sure that the core works before I work on more advanced stuff.

Nice!

Looks like you got a good start to it.

I will be very interested in seeing what you come up with.

I have written a master server in Visual Basic and C# - Threaded core with a UI on top - I can't stand command prompt (for long) ;). Mainly just messing around and getting a feel for it.
Neither are fully functional yet. I got them to accept heartbeats and was last working on sending back the list of servers to a client. Sadly my new job has been pretty 'active' and I haven't got around to finishing them up yet.

I look forward to seeing your progress. Have fun.

Well, I did a lot of work on Ben's PBMS, and I felt that it was better to just write a new one than to keep piling my code onto his.
