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?

Unless you need your game to communicate in real time, I say go the web API route.

No need to design intricacies of the API's data transport, just pass your data over HTTP.
Stick it behind nginx or Apache and get TLS for free, any client HTTP lib will just handle the https.
It works everywhere, so if you want a browser version, you can do that, too.
