/**
 * The game actor is an Akka Actor that receives events from the user front-end UI (e.g. when 
 * the user clicks on the board) via a websocket connection. When an event arrives, the 
 * processMessage() method is called, which can be used to react to the event. The Game actor 
 * also includes an ActorRef object which can be used to issue commands to the UI to change 
 * what the user sees. The GameActor is created when the user browser creates a websocket
 * connection to back-end services (on load of the game web page).
