Akka for agar.io clone

[Kamil]

Hi. I'm new to akka and I was wondering if akka would be suitable choice for simple clone of game like agar.io (multiplayer, real time 2d). Any suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kamil!

That looks like a pretty fun game / project actually!

Yes I think Akka would match the problem here pretty well, since you can model the entities (and their respective websockets) as Actors.

While pretty old, you might enjoy Piotr Kukiełka's sample app where he does something a bit similar: https://github.com/pkukielka/QuickPath

Happy hakking!
