Modeling players in a board game

I’m a little bit afraid to learn Haskell

If you haven’t already, take a look at Elixir, and the Phoenix framework. Phoenix has excellent WebSocket integration which is probably what you’ll want for a multi-player game. You can also easily spin up a GenServer to act as the game server, but I guess that’s all a bit in the future , worth considering though.

If you do decide to go the Elixir/Phoenix route then I’d recommend this course, Multi-Player Game
with Elixir, Phoenix, Vue & Elm by The Pragmatic Studio.

@paulh @dwayne Thanks for the suggestion! I had considered Elixir+Phoenix, but you guys are making me want to seriously consider that option! I’ll keep that in mind for the future.
