# (Totes) Adorbs

Adorbs is a functional entity framework for LÖVE. The goal was to provide a

minimal entity framework sdk with a centralized game state.

## Getting Started

Below is an example of a minimal ECS setup in adorbs.

```lua

local engine, system, entity, component = require 'adorbs' ()

function love.load()

    entity.create('player', {

        'characterController', -- components are defined inline, and can be empty, as long as they are a string

        transform = { x = 15, y = 0 }

    })

    system.create(

        'systemName',

        {'characterController', 'transform'},

        function(delta, characterController, transform) -- called on each entity that matches components

            print(transform.x) -- should print out 15

        end

    )

end

function love.draw()

    engine.process()

end

```

If you're looking to move past the pare minimum I generally lay my projects out like so:

```

folders

 -> components

 -> entities

 -> systems

```

I populate those folders with my a respective ECS lua module that return a function, here is an example.

##### Component

```lua

-- newTransform.lua

return function(x, y, scale, rotation)

    return { x = x, y = y, scale = scale, rotation = rotation}

end

```

##### Entity

```lua

return function(spriteSheetLoc, x, y, speed)

    entity.create('player', {

        characterController = newCharacterController(speed),

        transform = newTransform(x, y)

    })

end

```

##### System

```lua

return function()

    system.create(

        'animator',

        {'animation', 'transform'},

        function(dt, animation, transform)

            local currentAnimation = animation.animations[animation.current]

            if currentAnimation == nil then

                error('You called an animation (' .. animation.current .. ') that does\'nt exist!')

                return

            end

            currentAnimation:update(dt)

            currentAnimation:draw(animation.image, transform.x, transform.y)

        end

    )

end

```

Then in your main.lua or scene file you just `require` what you need and they get added to the state automatically.

```lua

-- overworld.lua

local scene = {}

require 'systems/map' ()

require 'systems/inputController' ()

require 'systems/animator' ()

function scene:enter()

    require 'entities/map' ('maps/test') --you can make the functions accept arguments

    require 'entities/player' ('assets/animplayers.png', 20, 20, 40) 

end

function scene:draw(dt)

    engine.process()

end

return scene

```
