Has anyone experimented with swapping unused parts of the mud database to
disk, reading it back in when needed? What sort of format is it stored in
(eg binary, ASCII, etc)?
Also, what were your considerations when designing the structure of the
db (both memory and disk images) - ie i have a hex tree (like binary
tree, but with 16 child nodes instead of 2), but im not sure how
efficient it is.. a number of calculations have to be made to progress
down each 'level' of the tree, I was wondering what other ppl had done?
Now my project report has been handed in (phew) I can now accept
contributions from others. At the present time, there are about three or
four interested parties. Has anyone had any particularly good/bad
experiences related to project management in the area of mud development?
The more I travel up the learning curve, the steeper it seems to get..
ah, but I'll get there in the end (wont i??)
Greg.
