Engine Rewrite Plans

[ultraflame4]

As of now, this engine barely works and there are many issues with it.
Eg.

• the input system is wayy too complicated to use
• The creating a new component using ECS system is too confusing with various features scattered around different classes
• many more i forgot

A new branch will be created for rewriting the various parts engine.

The following parts of the engine will be rewritten (in order):

• ECS
• Windowing
• InputSystem

ECS Plans

• Components will now have these functions

  • Load() - Called when component is initially loaded and added to the component.
  • Start() - Called once when (or after if the component is instantiated during the game loop) the main game starts. All components required by the current components would also be available

• Some components will need other components to work, to address this, we need to have:

  1. GetComponent() function. This will throw an error if the component does not exists on the entity. Should not be called on Load()
  2. [RequireComponent()] attribute. The engine will throw an error before starting the game if the entity does not have the component.
