Hey,
I'm an Akka newbie and stuck on a multiplayer game server that I want to
use actors for concurrency. The server hosts multiple rooms which are
enterable by players (connected over TCP).
Unfortunately, I fail at coming up with a suitable actor architecture. The
client requires me to send player walking updates every 0.5 seconds (if
there are any) and the Pathfinder needs to know about the current positions
of all players in order to avoid collisions.
Pseudo-code (typical game loop attempt):
// Pseudo code
while(true) {
for (player in room.players) {
// Set position to tile B
if (player.setPosition) {
player.setPosition = false
player.position = player.newPosition
if (player.goalReached) {
player.wantsToMove = false
}
}
// Walk from tile A to tile B (set position on next cycle)
if (player.wantsToMove) {
var nextStep = Pathfinder.getNextStep(player.position,
player.goalPosition)
player.walkAnimation(player.currentPosition, nextStep)
player.newPosition = nextStep
player.setPosition = true
}
}
Thread.sleep(500)
}

I want everything to be synchronized (The Pathfinder needs to know about
non-walkable positions) and I'd like to use actors. Maybe you got a
solution to my issue. I wasn't able to find any resources explaining this
(probably I'm just too dumb), so I would really appreciate if you help me.
Cheers,
Steve Winfield
