Joran from TigerBeetle here!

This is a “walking sim” real visualization of our Deterministic Simulation Testing harness, the VOPR.

Typically we do DST headless in the terminal but this is a visualization, more or less the same thing but with a gaming engine on top.

It’s running real TigerBeetle code, but with simulated network/storage and fault injection, and multiple replicas in a cluster, all compiled to WASM and running in the browser, and you can interact with the simulation to poke it and watch the consensus recover.

Here’s the full background context and explanation from our talk, TigerStyle, for which we developed this sim: https://youtu.be/w3WYdYyjek4

I recommend including links to these within the submission itself. Landing on the game with no context isn’t a great experience. It also isn’t easy to share a link with others this way.

Apologies, the context is the talk, and we didn’t submit this submission of the visualizer to HN!

We are working on a tutorial stage, but people tend to hear about TB and TigerStyle and our DST first, appreciating the talks and that we make the visualizers in that context.
