N/A

basically there's dotnet the web framework, people usually likes to use it's default version (which follows the MVC model, Model View Controller)

I dont have anything to work off for the API however

and then there's the dotnet minimal APIs (same framework, different strategy), which are very easy to understand and build something quick

and where is this?

you can follow this tutorial from Microsoft:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/min-web-api?view=aspnetcore-9.0&tabs=visual-studio

so by the end i should have a github repo with the API launched from github on railway like a python api?
also is there example finished code of this minimal api?

hopefully it'll be Railway ready but if something happens when deploying it just send a message on this help thread.

there may be some examples on Github but not specially made for Railway

okay… I'll try, if all else fails would you be down to help me?

(mainly because i dont know what the github file structure is meant to look like)

I can try but I would recommend following a tutorial, on Railway we can't teach an entire language just by help threads.

true. however this is all i have right now, and i dont think its going to deploy with just this XD

do i need like a requirements.txt type of thing?

just because railway acts different to the C# i know

I may be able to get a simple template for you, give me a minute

okay, Thank you, lots!

im used to flask, this is new lol, however i know C# is lightweight, especially for a server

I would recommend to stick to the language you know, C# can get pretty big and if you're looking for lightweight solutions, Go is the option

its good to learn something new + i really need C# for what im creating

great, that's a valid point

I'm going to head off, if you can get the template i would be blown away XD

can I ask on why you need C#?

creating a somewhat multiplayer service

I dont mind paying for the costs, I want to have control over it all

but that can be done in any language

realtime game multiplayer service

that still can be done in any language, including Python

Python is heavyweight and slow, no?

if not then forget this entire thing, however i thought it was…

how many players are you expecting?

around 100 for now

Python can be pretty capable of running a beef game

its a vr game, so it will need to be like photon ig

pretty sure it can handle + you know Python so I would do it in Python

You sure it will work?

and wont be too slow?

I got told C# was lightweight and speedy XD

If python works, it works

depends on what you're doing

I would create a POC and see how it goes

Vr game which syncs players over the network and their actions

POC?

Proof of Concept

ah… so python it is or C#?

i wouldnt mind doing c#, i know a bit because of unity
and software developement

We could always just do this?

again if you think python might work, i can use it

I highly recommend doing a POC in the language you know and see how it goes

but I've seen some real-time games made in Python

do you mind providing a template as well? so i can rollback if it doesnt work?

np

thanx! A lot :D

check this out

alr

this alread a discord bot

ah! I see

so you can already get something close to what u want

thats true

alright, going to bed, cant wait for this template in the morning! Thanks a lot

Okayie Tried python and its response times, they are fine, however the CPU usage is not, what is a lightweight language I can use on railway to minimise CPU usage?

Go is the way

got it working!

pog

just watch out, Gin can use a lot of memory and in some benchmarks Gin lose to ElysiaJS (yes a js framework)

but for your use case it should be fine

Uh ohs, as long as I dont eat up my money with the cpu, (thats why i switched from python to go)

So it wont hammer my cpu as much as python does?

The only way to find out is by testing but Go is pretty lightweight overall

Alright, as i said I did a stress test, and it came out at $10 for 50 clients on python xD (10 mins usage)

if you're looking for something focused on being lightweight, there's Go-Chi
https://go-chi.io/#/

but try Gin first, it's easier to understand

Alright, so just to make sure, it wont destroy my cpu?

time for a load test, that's all i can say

Okie

i forgot to mention but I did a C# template 😅
