Hypermedia actors in F#
summary
Claim: combine actors, finite state machines and hypermedia to make "living" web resources. Implementation uses F-sharp agents on asp.net core with giraffe, Siren-style JSON hypermedia (client written in node). Built a multiplayer text Spy-vs-Spy server where rooms, bombs, file and agents are addressable actors, state transitions driven by Siren actions and links. Demo shows pick up, bomb planting and disarm flows working; some bugs remain (escape plane link misbehaves), but core dynamic linking and agent creation function.
