V1.0: Inception
Posted 17 days ago

The persistence system utilizes Pocketbase with a streamlined single-table architecture.

Currently using PocketHost.io for free hosting but might move to the a VPS in future due to reliability concerns.

Table: world

{
// System Fields
"id": "string (auto-generated)",
"created": "timestamp",
"updated": "timestamp",

// Position Fields (Integer)
"x": "integer",
"y": "integer",
"z": "integer",

// Rotation Fields (Float)
"rotX": "float",
"rotY": "float",
"rotZ": "float",
"rotW": "float",

// Metadata Fields
"owner": "string (required)",
"cloudModel": "string"
}

Indexes:
- Unique composite index on (x, y)
- Index on owner field

This could be any other database but I wanted to give Pocketbase a try since it's pretty niffy, it comes with a HTTP API which plays very nice with s&box. You can set rules for CRUD operations and much more.


In future, it might be worthwhile looking into the live-streaming functionality so when a player persists props, you can see it instantly.
