Hey,
I got a question regarding a project I'm working on.
There are player actors that can be managed by a "player director" actor
which belongs to a virtual room and supervises the players. A player
maintains its current position and name as a mutable state.
The director looks like this:
class PlayerDirector extends Actor {
....
private val players = mutable.Map[Int, ActorRef]() // Id, Player ref
....
override def receive = {
case SpawnPlayer(playerReference) => players +=
(incrementAndGetId() -> context.actorOf(Player.props(playerReference)))
case RemovePlayer(id) => ...
}
}
Now I'd like to execute some operations on all players which are positioned
at x, y
My first attempt:
class PlayerDirector ...
receive = {
....
case ExecuteOnPlayersByPosition(position, callback) => {
for ((id, player) <- players) {
player ! ExecuteIfPositionMatches(position, callback)
}
}
....
Then, the player would check its position and execute the callback from its
context. I don't like this implementation because it forces me to have the
callback executed on the player's actor, but It's the only way to guarantee
synchronization (I guess).
Do you have any advice for me?
Cheers!
