6 Serpentity is a simple entity framework inspired by Ash.
7
8 Usage:
9
10 require('serpentity');
11
12 ## Instantiating an engine
13
14 var engine = Serpentity();
15
16 Add entities or systems, systems are added with a priority (the smaller
17 the number, the earlier it will be called):
18
19 engine.addEntity(entityFactory());
20 engine.addSystem(new GameSystem(), priority);
21
22 Update all systems:
23
24 engine.update(dt);
25
26 Remove entities or systems:
27
28 engine.removeEntity(entityReference);
29 engine.removeSystem(systemReference);
30
31 ## Creating Entities
32
33 Entities are the basic object of Serpentity, and they do nothing.
34
35 var entity = new Serpentity.Entity();
36
37 All the behavior is added through components
38
39 ## Creating Components
40
41 Components define data that we can add to an entity. This data will
42 eventually be consumed by "Systems"
43
44 Class("PositionComponent").inherits(Serpentity.Component)({
45 prototype : {
46 x : 0,
47 y : 0
48 }
49 });
50
51 You can add components to entities by using the add method:
52
53 entity.add(new PositionComponent());
54
55
56 Systems can refer to entities by requesting nodes.
57
58 ## Working with Nodes
59
60 Nodes are sets of components that you define, so your system can require
61 entities that always follow the API defined in the node.
62
63 Class("MovementNode").inherits(Serpentity.Node)({
64 types : {
65 position : PositionComponent,
66 motion : MotionComponent
67 }
68 });
69
70 You can then request an array of all the nodes representing entities
71 that comply with that API
72
73 engine.getNodes(MovementNode);
74
75 ## Creating Systems
76
77 Systems are called on every update, and they use components through nodes.
78
79 Class("TestSystem").inherits(Serpentity.System)({
80 prototype : {
81 added : function added(engine){
82 this.nodeList = engine.getNodes(MovementNode);
83 },
84 removed : function removed(engine){
85 this.nodeList = undefined;
86 }
87 update : function update(dt){
88 this.nodeList.forEach(function (node) {
89 console.log("Current position is: " + node.position.x + "," + node.position.y);
90 });
91 }
92 }
93 });
94
95 ## That's it
96
97 Just run `engine.update(dt)` in your game loop :D
