Native UI implementation is a pain in the ass until now.
It is very primitive but theoricaly can be very efficient memory wise.

So it might NOT be appropriated to this game.

Unless I try something advanced for fights or on the maps there is very little chances I ever need an advanced UI control.

So basic HTML/CSS/Websocket communication is probably more than enough.

- It will help having a clear "protocol" to communicate between UI and the systems and data.
- It will make hyper-simple multi-player game
- Simple templating and scripting of the UI (since JS and HTML are no brainers)

WIP: graphql-ui #34

I'm starting to use graphql:

Pro:

UI centric data
Crystal support seems good
Not complex to query
Require contracts and establish protocol

Con:

More complex to setup than raw json without protocol
Modern JS is a nightmare
Not sure about performances if need to show up lots of data

For now the design I've in mind:

Kemal will receive the graphql requests
Graphql objects#methods should add a message un a queue (Qi)
(Qi) is read in a RequestHandlerSystem, which interact with the components and entities. it sends back the data requested in (Qo)
Qo is read async by Graphql (HOW ?)

async is probably easy with Channels

like

class Star
  def name
    channel.send "need star name #{id}"
    Fiber.yield
    channel.receive
  end
end

But I need to finish a POC to make sure it works as I imagine

Give up on the POC for now, too much boring work and difficulties to design a "Observer"
