sol2 VS MongoDB

As someone said, make the game data-driven is a good first step but I will say, also have some sort of way to add additional game logic. For C++ games, lua is really easy to embed the interpreter in your C++ binary, read in the files from a directory (like /mods) with the C++ filesystem api new in C++17, and it's very easy to use SoL to write an API for lua specific to your game. Many games use lua in this way and it's probably the most common mod path setup.

I've only ever done this from C++, but it's using the same lua C library, so should be durable from C as well. You can look up how sol2 or any other wrapper libraries do it.

Consider sol2

This version relies on a Lua C++ wrapper called sol2 to hide Lua stack management from the developer, so creating new bindings can be done by adding a few lines of human-readable C++. It still has to be done manually, but at least sol2 is able to automatically figure out types of objects being bound, so it's not much different from our de-/serialization code.

Here's an example: sol2

Here is link number 2 - Previous text "Sol"

Have you considered using sol2? https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2 Or if you don't want to switch over, you can at least look at their code and see how they handle this.

It is half of a pun as I was inspired by [sol3](https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2) which is a lua <-> c++ wrapper. Sol means sun and the julia c-api prefixes all it's functions with jl, luna means moon so it is pronounced "jay luna"

If you want to be portable I'd recommend C++ and Lua, I used those for years and it runs on everything and there's this most amazing wrapper API which was a huge inspiration

First, visit MongoDB Atlas and create an account, or sign in if you already have one. This article will guide you through the process of creating a MongoDB account. You should be redirected to your dashboard once you have completed the process. Locate the Connect button and click it.

On the other hand, NoSQL databases are non-relational databases. They store data in flexible, JSON-like documents, key-value pairs, or wide-column stores. Examples include MongoDB, Couchbase, and Cassandra.

I built each API with Node.js, Express, and Docker. Services connected to a NoSQL MongoDB database.

In edge computing, managing time series blob data efficiently is critical for performance-sensitive applications. This blog post will compare ReductStore, a specialized time series database for unstructured data, and MongoDB, a widely-used NoSQL database.

MongoDB to store our data as documents, close to JS objects

MongoDB: Known for its ease of development and strong community support, MongoDB is effective in scenarios where flexible schema and rapid iteration are more critical than strict ACID compliance.

MongoDB

Ensure you have MongoDB installed for data storage. You can download MongoDB Community Server from MongoDB's official website or use the cloud cluster.

We will be using MongoDB as a database on both the Auth microservice and notifications microservice, sign up for a MongoDB Atlas account here incase you donot have one and donot have its desktop application(mongodb campass) installed and would like to use mongodb atlas. This cloud-based database service offers a free tier and simplifies the process of managing MongoDB databases.

Head over to MongoDB and create an account or login to grab your connection string.
