Entity Component System for Cinder, used by Sitara Systems LLC
Heavily influenced by (and some code outright borrowed from!) Sosolimited's Entity Component Samples.
This library uses:
- NVIDIA PhysX
- entityx
The included vcpkg.json should automatically download and build the dependencies for all examples in here. This block also requires cinder to be in an adjacent folder for the cinder dependencies to be found automatically:
parentFolder/
sitara-ecs/
cinder/
Use the included vcpkg.json as a jumping off point for adding this block into other projects!
Some modules require other sitara- libraries. These are activated by including a #define statement and having the required submodule included in the project.
These optional features include:
| Features | Module | Preprocessor Statement | Required Submodule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Font Rendering | TextSystem | #define USING_SDFTEXT |
sitara-sdftext |
| 3d Model Support | Geometry | #define USING_ASSIMP |
sitara-assimp |
