Hey boot52, what kind of server do you have to run 8 tables? That means 9 players per table = 72 maximum players? Bots included.
Nothing special server side. Boot52 runs CentOS 64 bit on a single box with 4GB RAM. The software was tested with 5 full tables (9 x 5 = 45 simultaneous connections) and it passed with flying colors, using less than 1 percent of system resources in terms of CPU and RAM.
HTML5 WebSockets are incredibly efficient to begin with, so you shouldn't need any beefy hardware if your code is tight.
So, assuming 45 people = 1%, then 10% = 450 people? Or about 50 tables? Or, you simply haven't been able to test that many? Could you theoretically accommodate 4500 simultaneous connections on your current hardware, or would that kill it?
I want to do something similar, but I'm hesitant because 1. I'm not really a good coder, 2. I don't know all the different rules of poker.
But I've been winning against FoldBot. Kinda boring since it was on the play money tables though.
