Re: [PHP] PHP telnet server


I often thought PHP would be a nice language for a MUD, if one could
get the performance out of it...

Design your code such that you can just throw more hardware at it
whenever you need more performance.

That's easily said, but a MUD means all the users have to share a significant portion of your data model.

Though I suspect the bandwidth issue would be the main bottleneck most of the time...

I don't want to get into this in much detail, mainly because I've spent all of 5 minutes seriously thinking about it, and may just need more bake-time...

But it's not ALWAYS that easy to architect something to be "shared-nothing" even with PHP.
