v3.2.9

ff72706

Flecs v3.2.9

Highlights

Query DSL extension that makes it easier to traverse multiple edges of the same relationship:
- ChildOf($pilot, $cockpit), ChildOf($cockpit, $plane) can now be rewritten as ChildOf($pilot, $cockpit, $plane)
New rule feature that makes it possible to lookup entities by name relative to a query variable:
- Example: Turret($this), Health($this.cannon)
A new API for emitting and observing simple events on entities (c, cpp)
- Example: window.emit<Resized>({800, 600})
A new API for enqueueing events into the command queue for deferred handling (c, cpp)
- Example: window.enqueue<Resized>({800, 600})
Performance improvements:
- Faster command batching in apps with lots of entities/commands enqueued from observers (~25x faster with 50k entities)
- Query iteration improvements due to removal of complexity in table storage (~7%-17%)
- Hierarchy creation/destruction improvements (~4%-7%)

v3.2.7

ae0bed2

Highlights

A new Flecs.NET C# binding by @BeanCheeseBurrito with a similar design as the C++ API!
Deferred set operations are now almost twice as fast in the C++ API 💨
New functions in the experimental JavaScript API for client-side replication of entities:

// Connect to flecs application
flecs.connect("http://localhost:27750")

// World that stores the joined result of two queries
let w = flecs.world()
  .query("SpaceShip, (Dockedto, *)")
  .query("Planet, Habitable")
  .on_update(() => {
    // Access replicated entities
    for (let s in w.entities["fleet"]) {
      const planet = w.entities[s.pairs.DockedTo];
      
      // Is spaceship docked to a planet?
      if (planet.tags.include("Planet") {
        // Is planet habitable?
        const habitable = planet.tags.include("Habitable") ? "habitable" : "inhabitable";
        console.log("SpaceShip " + s.name +  " is docked to a " + habitable + " planet!");
