Hi fellow Rustaceans. I am new to rust and web stuff and I want to make battleship game with rust as a server side and android as a client. Will Rocket/Actix web be ok if I want to create something like a lobby/room for players, or will sockets be better suited?

I'm not a web / game dev but from what I can remember off Fireship videos you probably want to use some sort of web sockets because the data you're working with are real time right? A quick search on lib.rs and it seems like you would have better chances with Actix-web. They even have examples for websockets.
