Kind of reminds me of SubSpace. I think, it has been a very long time since I've played it.
Thought the same exact thing. Whatever happened to SubSpace?

You've done a great job! It's stayed very responsive for the time I've played. I haven't even noticed any dropped packets, so your method for dealing with them seems to be working very well despite the high load.
Nothing too fancy. Just proper devops and a lot of testing.

#73CTF is actually fun too, it just needs more players :D

#74Is it just me or is this becoming a more popular Internet game format. The reason I ask is because Slither.io uses this same idea.
This is the so called "io game" genre, started by agar.io.

Subspace Continuum is an anti-hacking fork released in 2001 (Subspace was released in '95) and is now the only official version of the game.

Yes! Loved that game. You could mount each other and create the almighty LevTerr. I wonder if it's still alive

normal, modern dev with automated builds and git creates a build every time you commit (or every push), and you can commit for a missing comma so ... with 10 or more people working on it on a daily basis it can go up very fast
ah, yeah that makes sense - I was thinking of “releases” not so much “builds” and thats why it looked weird to me...
Also I believe that this is the kernel build counter, and it's the same counter that's used since Win95. Someone has published a list: https://www.gaijin.at/en/lstwinver.php
edit: it's not the kernel build counter and MS has cheated with it in the past, but it has stayed sequential across the whole NT tree (as this is where any post-2K Windows originates). https://www.howtogeek.com/140411/learn-the-secrets-of-the-wi...

Also want to show appreciation for your work. I tried to create a game similar to this (I spent 6 months on it). Very basic Geometry. Circles. I got the concept working well locally, but I ran into problems on how to deal with the networking. I got things running in Node with SocketIO and so on but there could be 400 players, each made of upto 8 moving pieces, and each can fire several times a second. I spent a lot o…
I will definitely do a write-up but you're right. It's really hard to find info on any of that online.
A lot of trial and error.
