Hi.
I'm building a 'toy' game that makes uses of akka-persistence, in order to
learn it.
in a nutshell the game is 1000's of people/bots create villages, they act
independently of each other, and generally pass messages to each other to
chat/fight and all that good stuff.
Where I am having problems are:
1. how do I initialize the persistence system at the start of testing so I
am in a 'known state' when I start.
2. how I assign IDs (persistanceId) to actors.
Ideally I would use a map reference for while the villages exist, and be
able to re-use them if a new village is created. but the problem is it
finds the old village, and replays all the events (including the death
event which kills it).
I don't mind re-using a old actor, but i'd like to stop it (ie poisonpill)
when it isn't active.
It seems like they need to be unique for the life of the system, and to do
so I would need a counter in place or GUIDs. but then I would need to keep
track of the Map reference/GUID mapping meaning my code would need to first
talk to the mapping holder, and then to the village itself (2 messages, 1
sync) which seems like non-ideal. (as opposed to
context.actorselection("XYZ map-reference") ! message which I guess is
still 2 messages under the covers, 1 sync too)
3. the recovery log only seems to 'start' when I bring up the actor.
Is there a way to know which actors are currently 'active' and just let
Akka start them all up, instead of me keeping a list/map of 'active'
villages, and manually restarting them.
Thanks ..
Ian.
