Thread: Shard revolutions Event Manager < Hyperion's Event Manager?

I had a quick glance at it the other day when I was doing my magic in 30mins, Looked fairly similar to me, besides the way events are submitted to be executed.

The main part that makes hyperions event managing system better than shards is because it's multi-threaded, unlike shard there was only one thread that did the event work.

Just wait for Graham to come and give you a 10 page explanation.

I don't believe that the event system itself is mult-threaded, because events are used for scheduling repeated game logic (player updating, npc updating, etc) so I think it all runs in one thread. The task system makes use of two thread pools: the main thread pool, and the logic executor (single threaded for logic safety).
I don't remember investigating the event handler in hyperion but I'm pretty sure that it is more well-written (it might even be a BlockingExecutorService instead of one that loops).

It uses multiple threads for updating. I'll write a larger explanation when I have some more time.

I would say Hyperion's is better than Shard's although it's only designed for use within Hyperion.
