Bloktopia

<h2 id="header-0">HOT TOPIC: <strong>Network test on avatars in VR using virtual machines</strong></h2><blockquote><em>Developer Diaries aim to give a transparent view to our community on how the build of Bloktopia is progressing. We value your loyalty and passion for our project, and we will be sharing as much information as we can about 1 specific feature — hopefully at the end of each week!.We will continue to work in an agile manner, and will be adapting and optimising our roadmap continuously. That is the nature of building a metaverse. So, some things we share here, might not ever come to fruition, but our goal will be to set clear expectations and communicate with you all about the upcoming roadmap and priorities.</em></blockquote><p>This <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;bloktopia/bloktopia-developer-diaries-1-1827868741ba" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">weekly Developer Diary update</a> is focused on network tests. You may remember from Dev Diary editions <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;bloktopia/bloktopia-developer-diaries-9-7e8a75cbe9f6" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">9</a> and <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;bloktopia/bloktopia-developer-diaries-10-248525e8b5db" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">10</a>, we showcased the ability to house multiple avatars in one scene, without compromising on visual quality or decreasing movement/ animation quality.</p><p>As with all testing this was done on a small scale, with the view to increasing gradually before replicating a “live environment”. We have now successfully created such an environment through the use of virtual machines, allowing for mass user simulated testing in a networked environment.</p><h2 id="header-1"><strong>What is a virtual machine and simulated user?</strong></h2><p>Put simply, a simulated user is a bot which runs on basic AI, simulating real user actions in an environment. These actions can include walking, body/mouth movement and audio output. The networked environment that these simulated users are put into is simply a created, interactive area designed for testing these actions.</p><p>A virtual machine (VM) is a computer instance which lives on the cloud. It provides us with the ability to scale up or down depending on our requirements for testing.</p><p>For example, there could be several VM’s which run large numbers of simulated users each, allowing us to test an increasing number of users.</p><h2 id="header-2">The testing…</h2><p>A unique unity testing build was created, which loads simulated users into the environment and applies basic AI, in order to allow movement and audio output. This allows us to do the following:</p><ul><li>Carry out mass testing, allowing us to test a comfortable user limit for the room or space.</li><li>Identify any performance issues and bugs that may occur, particularly when a large number of users are active.</li><li>Test multiple simulated users outputting audio and moving around.</li><li>Allows us to determine a comfortable user limit for the environment we are testing.</li></ul><react-video url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v&#61;Hc6zl19zd6Q"></react-video><p><em>(Virtual Machine Bots in a test environment- networking and interacting)</em></p><p>This is crucial for our understanding of how the Bloktopia environment will react when running at full pace, ensuring that the user experience and quality doesn’t drop for users. Any performance issues or bugs can then be rectified before launching.</p><p>Overall, implementing these tests have been great for us. It has allowed us to simulate large numbers of groups of users in Bloktopia at one time. Now that this is in place, we can continue to carry out scaled testing, further solidifying our understanding of how many users will be able to occupy certain environments without affecting performance.</p><h2 id="header-3">About Bloktopia</h2><p>Bloktopia is a VR skyscraper made up of 21 floors to commemorate 21 million Bitcoin. It will act as a central hub and welcome all levels of crypto experience.
