artemis-odb-2.2.0

Changelog

Version: 2.2.0 - 2019-01-06

• BREAKING CHANGES

  • Web backend upgraded to GWT 2.8.0 (LibGDX is blocking 2.8.2).
  • Serialization modules that depend on libGDX now require 1.9.9.

• Global option to delay component removal until all subscriptions have been notified.
  new WorldConfigurationBuilder().alwaysDelayComponentRemoval(true)

• Annotation driven aspects (@All, @Exclude, @One).

  • Annotate BaseEntitySystem subclass, alternative to constructor argument.
  • Adds DI of Archetype, Aspect, Aspect.Builder and EntitySubscription fields.

• Fluid entities quality of life changes.

  • To enable fluid entities in your world, best practice register FluidEntityPlugin instead of SuperMapper.
  • FluidEntityPlugin generated as part of the fluid generation process.
  • Added FluidIteratingSystem.
  • Generate class C containing all fluid component class literals. (not usable in annotations, sorry).
  • Convenience methods to find entities:
    • by group for ( E e : E.withGroup("enemy") ) { .. }
    • by tag E player = E.withTag("player");
    • by aspect for ( E e : E.withAspect(Aspect.all(Pickup.class, Pos.class)) ) { .. }
    • by component for ( E e : E.withComponent(Pickup.class) ) { .. }
  • Allow plugins for fluid interface generation.
    • Override type handling via FieldProxyStrategy. (Want extra methods for LibGDX's Pos2? Now you can!)

• Support for abstract plugins with multiple possible implementations.
  For example, a logging plugin might have multiple implementations (TinyLog, SLF4J+??, LibGDX).
  As a plugin developer, we want to be able to refer to the generic facade (LoggingPlugin) and
  throw a warning when no specific implementation has been registered.

• Fix: Better document side effects of ComponentMapper and EntitySubscription.

• Fix: Unchecked warning in SuperMapper.

• Fix: ArtemisMultiException was missing no-args ctor (req by serializaion)

• World instances can now inject themselves (World::inject)
