I am thinking about how to build a massively parallel online game on top of Akka cluster. The game is based on a huge two dimensional "world" through which players can move.
I would like to scale across several servers, and I would like players who are close to each other in the game to be co-located on the same server. Having one actor per player looks like a good fit, but moving these actors from server to server as the characters move through the world is tricky. I know Cluster Sharding, but assignment of entities to ShardRegions is static. Any ideas, suggestions or pointers for a design to support this are welcome. - Arno -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
