# Basalt Engine

An ECS[¹](#reference) engine built from ground up in [Scala 3] with architectural

support for [Cats Effect] and modularity in mind.

[Scala 3]: https://scala-lang.org

[Cats Effect]: https://typelevel.org/cats-effect/

## Roadmap

- [ ] Entity composition

- [ ] Platform-agnostic object and event abstraction

- [ ] Synchronous (main-thread) code execution

- [ ] Input/output support in queries with FS2

- [ ] State/scene preservation and loading

- [ ] Query composition with entities and streams

- [ ] Data persistence and (de)serialization to Circe

## Background

Inspired by [Bevy Engine] – a data-driven game engine written in Rust – ECS implementation, we focus on

logic built on top of resources, entities, and systems (could be simplified as data and functions).

This approach is really nice because it's a very flexible and powerful design pattern that allows

code to be easily reused, extended, and quickly written.

## Reference

**¹:** Software architectural pattern "Entity component system".
