Good evening,
I am making an online game that stores its data in a mysql database. The thing
is that I can't allow the players to interact directly with the important
tables of database (they could cheat if I give them access) so I only allow
them to write on a table named commands and then a python program running on
the server will interpreter that command and update the important tables. For
example, a user that wants to build an house writes on the commands table
'build house', and then my python program takes the resources of the user and
gives him an house. The thing is that I need to have a program reading the
command list in a infinite while loop and I don't know if there is a better way
to do this, I am afraid that if the command list gets to crowed my python
program may not handle all the commands in time. And if I put two programs
reading the same command list sometimes they handle the command twice..
Hope you can help me,
Thanks.
