Tak is a two-player game seen in the book: The Wise Man's Fear from the Kingkiller Chronicle. The game's objective is to create a path from one side of the board to the other following the: Rules, or Video
Using lichess crazyhouse tools, we have the stones to place according to the 8x8 tak rules.
To select how many stones to move I'm using the scroll wheel rendering the stones to be moved a bit higher (open to debate), this is way heavier than lichess' redering method.
Litak (lichess for tak) is a free online tak game server.
Litak is written in Scala 2.13,
and relies on the Play 2.8 framework.
scalatags is used for templating.
The tak logic is contained in the module tak (when stable will be taken apart from litak).
The server is fully asynchronous, making heavy use of Scala Futures and Akka streams.
WebSocket connections are handled by a separate server that communicates using redis.
It uses MongoDB to store more than 1.7 billion games, which are indexed by elasticsearch.
HTTP requests and WebSocket connections can be proxied by nginx.
The web client is written in TypeScript and snabbdom, using Sass to generate CSS.
The blog uses a free open content plan from prismic.io.
Browser testing done with 
.
Proxy detection done with IP2Proxy database.

The Wiki describes how to setup a development environment. <-- Litak runs like Lila
Most of the code comes from Lila and it's contributors, so thanks to them. And thanks to lishogi, lidroughts for setting the precedent.
