Not really in tutorial format, but might be helpful.

I've switched back to using my older script. It seems like after time netcat closes the sockets it is listening to, and the server stops receiving commands from the script, which breaks things unless you restart frequently. I will work on a fix but it's pretty low priority.

Since this is to be modular, are you going for a microkernel design? Or are you thinking more like Linux (monolithic with loadable modules, pluggable scheduler, etc)?

Vegastrike has somewhat realistic physics/scale.

I think the reason most games don't is because it's difficult to balance realism and fun in a game.

I want to load n-many files of varying sizes and types. I can use them as soon as they are ready. The idea is to be somewhat optimistic and prefetch files I *think* I'll need; they'll just get tossed in a LRU cache and then really no harm done if I end up not using them. If I *need* to use a file and it hasn't been loaded/prefetched yet, I can either use some kind of placeholder until it is ready, or I can stop and wait for it to load. I understand that reading from the disk is ultimately a serial operation but I think it might be advantageous in situations where a bunch of little files that we need immediately are stuck waiting for a big old whatever to load.

Anyways I think I sort-of answered my own question, and this stackoverflow post seems to confirm what I was thinking.
