System Design Online Ludo Game | Ludo King System Design | Mock System Design Interview

[@sanketsingh5051]

I think apart from interview if you could also share a solution diagram - it would be even more helpful. Discussion definitely is nice but atleast having one solution helps in interview prep. Right now I'm not exactly clear about the solution. Maybe I'm not experienced enough and need more hand holding. Just an opinion though!

[@joy_of_life]

Excellent idea, will try to come up with solution videos in the days to come.

Thanks a lot for this mock interview. Really helpful on how to approach a system design interview.

[@joy_of_life]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the vid. One issue though. You mentioned my redis needs to be confined to that region only. But, we need to host games where players are from China, USA, Europe regions. So wouldn't we need a global cache to store the state of the game(who's turn it is now and stuff)

[@joy_of_life]

The call to the Redis will be initiated from the server and not the client. That's why Redis is kept at a region level.

This was amazing Joy & Mohammad ! Please, post more of these mock interviews. I'll probably have a panic attack during these interviews lol. Is using WebSockets for the game rather than long polling, bad design?

[@joy_of_life]

Sure Subhankar I am looking for friends who are willing to participate for system design and coding mock interviews. And about web sockets and polling, it really depends on the scenario. Sometimes web socket can be an over kill, so it depends from requirement to requirement.

how to we handle timeouts for players chance @Joy

[@joy_of_life]

you should handle it on the server side, you can maintain some expiry time at the backend

[@L0ukh4ck5]

would you give a hire or no hire?

[@joy_of_life]

It's more about learning, so don't wanna call our hire/no hire The intention for having this series is to learn and grow
