Yep the server is in C++. The level editor is mostly for personal use right now, so it just generates the C++ code that I need to paste into a file. I plan to make the editor public and make an easy process to submit levels so maybe some day no one will ever be able to reach the end.


what linode box are you using?


They're really overpowered for what they're using atm. I'm just keeping extra capacity just in case. Web server is on a Linode 2048 and Game server is on a Linode 4096 (not even using 15% of the CPUs).


what does that translate into ram and cpu?

what are you using for your web server?


Web server is just nginx. The RAM and CPU usage are really low, there isn't anything CPU or memory expensive in the game to be honest.


i just want to know how much ram and cpu i need to handle front page hackernews traffic.


If you're not hosting heavy files (big images, videos, etc.), not much, really. The cheapest plan on linode is enough.
