Not necessarily as your option b) already gives implementation details (using ids to find actors, etc.). I was mostly thinking out loud to see if anything emerged. But certainly the idea of merging things together makes my life (sometimes) easier. > I'm probably leaning towards this option myself, though it seems a > little uncomfortable that the solution boils down to "put everything > in one big ref". Where does the discomfort come from? Mine would come from performance: if multiple actions are taken in parallel on this universe, e.g. one or more actors 'acting' then things will get ugly. Which brings me to this question: If one mashes actors and the world together, is that effectively saying that only one actor can act at a time? If so, then this might not be what you want. > Also, if you then create some kind of "multiverse" with multiple > worlds then following the same logic you need to refactor everything > to have one big ref for the multiverse with multiple worlds contained > within it. i.e. it doesn't seem to compose neatly....... It certainly does get more involved the minute you have several universes ... U -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
