A C# Actor Model library.

I was looking for an actor model thing with some requirements :

• no dependancy from another library
• coding in plain C#, with such things like 'SendMessage', 'new Actor()', 'Become(behavior)'
• actor can change their own behaviors
• actor can send messages
• actor can create other actors
• behaviors are dynamic
• actor can send messages across servers

var sender = new BaseActor() ;
var receiver = new BaseActor() ;

and in sender code ..

receiver.SendMessage("something") ;

• behavior can be attached or removed from actor, (an actor can change it's own behavior ...)
• actor can send messages across servers, you just need to hold a reference (an IActor interface) to another actor on a server ...
• some actors can behave as public services, or be supervised
• ARnActorModel could also be used as a basis for active object, defining an object and casting an async interface around it as a facility.

Unit tests are included as well as some sample applications. I used the excellent OpenCover to give some tests coverage.

For a common usage, you can download ARnActorModel here in Nuget.

• more coverage
• moving to PCL/Universal/Shared model
• focus on future vs actor
