Redis, message queues and the Producer-Consumer Model
Sunday, March 23, 2025I'm in early days of architecting a 3D space system for pennmush. The design documents are here and I'm greatly enjoying simply hacking about.
I've never used redis before, so I'm learning quite a bit about the server, the diagnostic and performance tools and the "gotcha's". The basic idea is pennmush (a server for text-based games) sends a message to redis message queue which is then read by the space engine (written in rust) which then sends a message back to pennmush via redis. The space engine will update position of space objects, manage combat, trading, etc... Pennmush will manage interface and out-of-space story. Really fun stuff
