pipes #1

there's a limit of 256 open files per process, so each process can have ~250 pipes. Since we have two pipes per child process, there's an upper bound of ~125 number of total tanks (players * tanks_per_player)

Hmm, that sucks. Is that limitation per process or per thread? Possible solution: fork process and handle each team's tanks in different threads/process.

That should get us up to ~125 tanks per team :D

esneider commented 13 years ago

I think that's possible.. maybe you can extend that to each team's process having several processes that handle the tanks.. do you want to code it? :)

eordano commented 13 years ago

And we have to think about the IPC... I mean... when I spawn the process, how do I get to talk back to my parent?

The same way we do now :S with pairs of pipes

eordano commented 13 years ago

I'll get into that...
