Ento is an Entity Component System written in Go.
See examples folder.
From hello.go:
import (
"github.com/wfranczyk/ento"
)
type Component1 struct{ value int }
type Component2 struct{ value int }
type Component3 struct{ value int }
type System struct {
// Always use pointer to base component type (!)
// Add `ento` tag to automatically bind components
C1 *Component1 `ento:"required"`
C2 *Component2 `ento:"required"`
C3 *Component2 `ento:"optional"`
// Systems can have non-component-bound fields
calls int
}
// Update implements ento.System
// Based on `ento` tag, entities will be selected for update by the system.
// Entities that do not contain all the `required` components will be skipped.
func (s *System) Update(entity *ento.Entity) {
// When Update is called, all the tagged components
// will be already replaced with values from entity
s.C1.value += s.C2.value
// Optional field will be set to null if entity does not contain them
if s.C3 != nil {
s.C1.value += s.C3.value
}
}
func main() {
// Create the world and register components
world := ento.NewWorldBuilder().
// Use "zero-values" as values are ignored when registering
WithSparseComponents(Component1{}, Component2{}, Component3{}).
// Pre-allocate space for 256 entities (world can grow beyond that automatically)
Build(256)
// Add systems
system := &System{}
world.AddSystems(system)
// Create entities (they are added to the world immediately)
entity := world.NewEntity(Component1{1}, Component2{1})
// Use Set to add or change their components
entity.Set(Component3{1})
// Update the world
world.Update()
// Use Get to receive component value (or nil if not present)
var c1 *Component1
entity.Get(&c1)
println(c1.value == 3) // true
// Use Rem to remove component from entity
// As Component2 is `required` in the System
// it will no longer be updated by it
entity.Rem(Component2{})
world.Update()
entity.Get(&c1)
println(c1.value == 3) // true - the entity is no longer updated by the system
