Component Experiment

An experiment with a component system to compose entity behaviour rather than inherit.

Demo

Some key benefits are:

• Minimal runtime allocs
• Easily serializable/de-serializable
• Constant lookup time for components in the same entity
• Templates for a group of components
• Component recycling to prevent un-necessary allocs.

Using the framework Phaser.io is quite restricted in writing components that deal with position/rotation/velocity as they all need to go through the same sprite.

Load speed improvements

• Texture Atlas (Automateable w/ command line tools?)
• Prefetch assets + App Cache for offline access
• Clean up atlas json(remove rotated/trimmed/meta) + minify(strip whitespace)
• Minify HTML

Sprite Export

• JSON (Array)
• Trim sprite names

Deploy

• middleman build
• middleman s3_sync
• middleman invalidate
