# Lyra ECS
An ECS for the Lyra game engine.
## Why does it exist?
I couldn't find anything that fulfilled my needs, specifically an ECS that can store arbitrary components without knowing about the types. This makes it easier to implement into a scripting engine that has the ability to create its own components.
## Features
2023-12-22 12:22:10 -05:00
- [x] Archetypes
2023-11-26 01:10:07 -05:00
- [x] Spawning entities
2023-11-26 21:05:35 -05:00
- [x] Despawning entities
- [x] Delete entities from archetypes
- [x] Find some way to fill in the gaps in component columns after entities are deleted
2023-11-27 22:24:29 -05:00
* This was done by moving the last entity in the column to the gap that was just removed.
2023-11-26 21:05:35 -05:00
- [x] Grow archetype as it fills up
2023-12-01 16:50:41 -05:00
- [x] Borrow safety of components inside Archetypes
- [x] Return `Ref` and `RefMut` from borrow queries
2023-12-22 12:22:10 -05:00
- [x] Querying components from archetypes
2023-11-26 01:10:07 -05:00
- [x] Views
2023-12-22 12:22:10 -05:00

2023-11-29 23:21:27 -05:00
- [x] Resources
2023-11-30 23:05:06 -05:00
- [x] Get resources in views somehow
2023-11-26 01:10:07 -05:00
- [ ] Relationships (maybe this can be done through queries, idk)
2023-12-22 12:22:10 -05:00
- [x] Dynamic queries
2023-11-26 01:10:07 -05:00
* Needed for scripting engines that can create their own components that Rust does not know the types of.
2023-12-22 12:22:10 -05:00
- [x] Systems
- [x] Dispatchers/Executors
