Vert.x Java 多人游戏

Question

i want make a simple quiz game with a lobby system. I have some doubts about the architecture to use in my system, my idea was to use a central server to manage the lobbies and every time a lobby is created, instantiate a new LobbyVerticle, the communication between client and server was entrusted to the event Vert.x bus The game must respect scalability and distribution. Thanks for your suggestions.

Answer 1

vertx does not implement a strict actor model, therefore, you wont have actor specific features like mail boxes and persistent actors, with that said, i would opt for an approach where you have N lobby verticles instances where n=2*cpu cores,each of the verticles can handle any existing lobby, i would then share lobby state using clusterd shared-data-api (requires cluster manager like hz) if persistance is required you could write a verticle that persists data in a write-behind fashion.

If you want to go for a actor oriented approach choose another tool like lightbend akka
