Now we will need to define our protocol. For this functionality, we will need three Actors. The Actors that we create will be as follows:
ChatRoom: This will have a reference for all users in the chat room
ChatUser: This will have one instance per user (active browser)
ChatBotAdmin: This simple Bot Admin will provide stats about the chat room
ChatUserActor will need to join JoinChatRoom object in order to start chatting. ChatUserActor will also need to send messages to ChatMessage class to the ChatRoomActor that will broadcast messages to all users. The ChatBotAdmin will get a report from GetStats object from ChatRoomActor.
Let's start coding this protocol. First, we will need to define the messages that will be exchanged between these Actors, as shown in the following piece of code:
package actors
case class ChatMessage(name:String,text: String)
case class Stats(users:Set[String])
object JoinChatRoom
object Tick
object...
