2D Scene Graph
diwant opened this issue · 1 comments
I've discovered a need for hierarchy in my entities, whereby child nodes are affected by parent node transformations.
An example of a situation that this would allow is a moon entity would be able to spin about an earth entity, which is spinning about a sun entity, which is moving. Rotating/scaling/translating the sun would also rotate/scale/translate the earth and the moon as well, but rotating/scaling/translating the earth would only also rotate/scale/translate the moon and not the sun. i.e. Transformations only apply from the current node down through its child nodes and not up through parent nodes.
Essentially, I'm building a 2D scene graph. I've opened an issue here to gather thoughts, and as I complete my code I'll share it here with everyone so engo can include this functionality if accepted by the contributor community.
