The Blog

“Game Face” will be our weekly round-up of our internal and external open source work here at Agora Games. Internal open source refers to our public projects that you can find over at our Agora Games GitHub account. External open source work refers to projects that we contribute to in off-hours and may or may not have anything to do with video games because we’re swell folks like that. Pretty simple right? Here goes…

active_merchant

Remember the vindicia-api gem from a few weeks ago that we open sourced? One of our ex-interns, Steven Davidovitz, developed a Vindicia Payment Gateway for the active_merchant gem. Check out his pull request that adds this functionality.

kairos

Kairos is a new Python library for performing time-series data storage in Redis. Kairos is intended to replace RRD in situations where the scale of Redis is required, with as few dependencies on other packages as possible. It should work with gevent out of the box.
