Sample Akka.NET + Autofac implementation in C#

This is a working example of doing Dependency Injection in an application that uses the Akka.NET framework, using the Autofac DI framework.

We're using Akka.DI.AutoFac for this example, but building a custom DependencyResolver could be a better idea.

Running the app

This sample works like a basic RPG battle. When you run the app, you'll see the following message on the screen:

Wild Skeleton appeared!
Press any key to attack the enemy!
Press ESC to exit.

Go on ahead and press the space key (any key will do but I like the spacebar :) and then the following message will appear:

Attacking the enemy!
Caused 4 points of damage.
The enemy has 26/30 HP left.

Keep "attacking" repeatedly until the enemy perishes and you gain those yearned experience points.

Attacking the enemy!
You have the defeated the enemy!
Gained 11 EXP

Congratulations! You have defeated the enemy ;)

Why Autofac?

See The Top 7 Mistakes Newbies Make with Akka.NET by Aaron Stannard.

To sum it up, it says that

The only DI framework that works correctly by default with Akka.NET actors is Autofac

Of course it doesn't necessarily mean other frameworks won't work, but deadlines :)
