[SUGGESTION] reduce load on server

Post by serfbaws »

reduce load on server

maps
put the maps and everything els that is for working graphical interface in a p2p download
for off line use in your browser.
so the game server will only serve the game rules not the interface?

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • faster game play
  • more game play

What you describe is pretty much how a web browser works anyway. The first time you visit a page that has graphics on it they are downloaded and cached - ie saved on your computer. Unless the page is deliberately coded to repeat the download on subsequent visits to the page the graphics will simply be re used from the cache.

So, your suggestion has already been implemented - by the coders of Firefox, Internet Explorer or whichever browser you use :)

BTW: this wouldn't be realistic as the games each have their own file and XML
