go-actor examples

This repository hosts various examples for go-actor.

How to use examples

To make the most out of this, read each example package found in the /example directory. Every example has a bootstrap.go file that sets up the logic and explains the idea behind the example. It is also advised to read other source files in the example directory (package).

Each example can be executed with the following command:

# Use the following syntax to run a specific example:  
make run {example number}

make run 1
