That's just my age showing, I guess. For me, all 2.5D shooters are DOOMlikes. I was actually first thinking about calling it a Quake-like since IMHO that is much more well known for its multiplayer, but then I never got around to implement powerups and all the other stuff people might have expected.

Love that you liked it! Your project was the inspiration and showed me the insanity was actually feasible :D

Yea, I actually thought of the viability of SQL for games while working on DOOMQL. It's just so easy to express a lot of game logic in SQL queries. As an avid OSRS player I was thinking about doing a simple MUD/MMO next.

Thanks for the pointer to SpacetimeDB - haven't heard of it before!

The version is just an atomic integer assigned to that btree node which is monotonically increasing. Each writer increases the version when it releases the lock IF it has modified the node.

Wraparounds are only a theoretical issue. There would have to be exactly UINT64_MAX writers between a reader first checking the version and verifying the version.

Tell me about it... Was just too expensive compared to flash. But the tech was definitely awesome and I hope it'll come back in one way or another.

When designing CedarDB, we recently had multiple instances where we thought: "If we had just a few KiB of Optane here ... "
