Detailed Description

Base interface for all ECS systems.

All systems in the Entity-Component-System must inherit from this interface. Systems contain the game logic and operate on entities with specific component combinations.

Note: Systems should be stateless when possible.; Logic processes entities based on their component composition.; Each system defines which components it requires via getComponentMask().

Definition at line 37 of file ISystem.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~ISystem()

virtual ecs::ISystem::~ISystem ( )

virtualdefault

Virtual destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getComponentMask()

virtual ComponentMask ecs::ISystem::getComponentMask ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the bitmask of required components.

Returns a bitmask indicating which components an entity must have to be processed by this system. The Registry uses this mask to filter entities.

Returns: ComponentMask Bitmask of required component types

Implemented in ecs::AISystem, ecs::AnimationSystem, ecs::BoundarySystem, ecs::BuffSystem, ecs::CollisionSystem, ecs::HealthSystem, ecs::MapSystem, ecs::MovementSystem, ecs::OrbitalSystem, ecs::SpawnSystem, ecs::WeaponSystem, and scripting::LuaSystemAdapter.

◆ update()

virtual void ecs::ISystem::update	(	Registry &	registry,
		float	deltaTime
	)

pure virtual

Update the system logic for one frame.

Called every frame by the game loop. The system processes all entities that match its component requirements.

Parameters

registry	Reference to the ECS registry containing all entities
deltaTime	Time elapsed since last frame (in seconds)

Implemented in scripting::LuaSystemAdapter, ecs::AISystem, ecs::AnimationSystem, ecs::BoundarySystem, ecs::BuffSystem, ecs::CollisionSystem, ecs::HealthSystem, ecs::MapSystem, ecs::MovementSystem, ecs::OrbitalSystem, ecs::SpawnSystem, and ecs::WeaponSystem.
