Minimalistic Data Structures and Entity-Component-System Library

Overview

muds is a minimalistic data structure library for data-oriented design in high-performance, realtime applications such as games. It provides a collections library with data structures that support generational indices as key, and an entity-component-system (ECS) library built on top of it.

Highlights

• Flexible and extensible generational-index ECS model
  • Supports multiple entity types akin to a relational database, with type-safe entity IDs
  • Custom storage type for entities and components
• Cross-platform; compatible with no_std and WASM build. Defaults to f64 generational indices for interop with JS from WASM.
• Minimal size, minimal dependencies, good performance
• Library, not framework. Unlike other ECS with System scheduler / dispatcher, muds does not take control of your program flow.
• Uses cons to perform type-level recursion elegantly, instead of using macros to implement for tuples of fixed lengths, as seen in other ECS libraries.

Install

toml [dependencies] muds = "0.1" Features: - std - enables std support. enabled by default. - serde - enables serde serialize/deserialize implementations of collections and indices - derive - enables #[derive(Entity)] and #[derive(Component)] macros - index-u64 - uses IndexU64 as the generational index type for ECS instead of the default IndexF64

Documentation

See Docs.rs: https://docs.rs/muds

Usage

Below is a sample usage of the ECS library. See benches for more examples.

```rust use muds::prelude::*; use muds::ecs::storage::SparseSetStorage;

// 1. Defines the entity and components.

[derive(Entity, Debug)]

struct Ent;

[derive(Component, Debug)]

struct Pos(u32, u32);

// #[storage(S)] can be used to customize the entity / component storage type.

[derive(Component, Debug)]

[storage(SparseSetStorage)]

struct Vel(u32, u32);

// 2. Registers the entity-components archetype to registry. let mut registry = Registry::default(); registry.register_archetype::

// 3. Insert entities/components to mut storage. // storage/storagemut returns cons of collection types. // Each component storage can be retrieved either as immutable (&C) or mutable (&mut C). { let cons!(mut ent, mut pos, mut vel) = registry.storagemut::

// 4. Storages are just standard Map types that can be iterated. // Use MapJoin trait to jointly iterate components as cons. { let cons!(ent, mut pos, vel) = registry.storage::eid, v, p) in pos.itermut().cons().mapjoin(&*vel) { p.0 += v.0; p.1 += v.1; } } ```
