Grow a garden stock

[glossy gale]

How does Grow a Garden do it's shop system? Does it use MessageService to handle the stock?

[deft wyvern]

No need to use messaging service

Just use random with a set seed

(unix time stamp)

[ornate needle]

it might use random like Cirno said

but

if you wanna recreate

you should use memory store + messaging

Datastores are mostlikely not used

Due to 25mb read per minute

per key

which can be somewhere limiting for gag which had 20m ccu

depends on what they save

[hushed gorge]

i think its the same way as how they handle auto-updates without needed to reset the servers.

Not sure on how they do it tho?

[glossy gale]

Does that mean like every server just uses one Random.new() object with a set seed? How do they refresh at the same time though? Does the random object guarantee every server has the same stock?

[deft wyvern]

make a new random object with the unix time stamp of the time that its supposed to switch

and then they all have the same seed

and the same outcome

and you can get the last xx:00 or xx:05 time with some math for new servers

[deft wyvern]

probably apply the same math to the normal switch too just in case uit gets delayed somehow

[agile egret]

every server has the same os.time()

sync to that

[glossy gale]

Alright thx

[alpine zodiac]

os.time isnt precise enough

sometimes it can be off by minutes

@agile egret @glossy gale

there's a way to get the time from google

which is always accurate and precise

[glossy gale]

Huh
