fractal realms

https://github.com/shaunxcode/fractal-realms Just pushed a first commit if anyone is interested in playing with it. The only thing required is latest version of datomic running:

First - copy the sample free transactor config via 

cp config/samples/free-transactor-template.properties fr.properties

Then run the transactor 

bin/transactor fr.properties

Run the schema (from the fractal_realms dir) 

 (this is ghetto right now, just paste what is in the create-db.clj file into repl - looking around for best practice on how deploying a new datomic schema should work within a lein based project)

After that  

lein ring server 

And you should be able to hit the api via curl or browser on port 3000

curl -G http://localhost:3000/actor

etc.

I really appreciated the discussion last night around different ways to optimize collision detection/decision making/conflict resolution and I am excited to see where this goes. The next step from here is to write some scripts to populate it with some random landmasses and implement the PUT  /actor/:id/position?x=[float]&y=[float] method and start load testing!

Cool. Once there is a decent data set to play with, I'd be interested in see how operations like 'find (1st, 2nd, .. nth degree) neighbors of a landmass' would perform
