Overview of the Entity module in JarEngine.

🔹 Overview

Entity is a JarEngine module responsible for ECS entity and components.

It provides:

• Audios components
• Graphics components
• Others components
• Physics components
• Transforms components
• Entity

🔹 Contents

🔹 Usage

from jarengine import Entity

# Create an entity
player = Entity.JEEntity(name="Player")

# Add components to define its properties
Entity.Transforms.JEPositionComponent(
    player,
    (100, 200)
)

Entity.Transforms.JEVelocityComponent(
    player,
    (5, 0)
)

Entity.Transforms.JESizeComponent(
    player,
    (20, 20)
)

Entity.Graphics.JEColorComponent(
    player,
    (255, 255, 255, 255)
)

# Components automatically add related helpers to the entity
player.set_position((150, 180))
player.set_velocity((10, 0))

print(player.get_position())
print(player.get_velocity())

An entity has been created as a white rectangle of 20 by 20.

🔹 Notes

Things to know when using this module:

• Entity alone doesn’t do anything, components are required.
• Components such as group makes the entity a holder of other entity.
• ECS has been optimized by me (and IA) for faster computation, but it is still a layer on top of PyGame, and in Python. So it may be slower than any other engine.
