# apecs

apecs is an [_Entity Component System_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system) (ECS) library for game development.

apecs aims to be
* **Fast** - Performance is competitive with Rust ECS libraries (see benchmark results below)
* **Safe** - Completely hides the dangers of the low-level machinery
* **Concise** - Game logic is expressed using a small number of powerful combinators
* **Flexible** - Easily add new modules or backends
* **Cool**

### Example
```haskell
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-}
{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}

import Apecs
import Linear (V2 (..))

newtype Position = Position (V2 Double) deriving Show
newtype Velocity = Velocity (V2 Double) deriving Show
data Flying = Flying

makeWorldAndComponents "World" [''Position, ''Velocity, ''Flying]

game :: System World ()
game = do
newEntity (Position 0, Velocity 1)
newEntity (Position 2, Velocity 1)
newEntity (Position 1, Velocity 2, Flying)

-- 1. Add velocity to position
-- 2. Apply gravity to non-flying entities
-- 3. Print a list of entities and their positions
cmap $ \(Position p, Velocity v) -> Position (v+p)
cmap $ \(Velocity v, _ :: Not Flying) -> Velocity (v - V2 0 1)
cmapM_ $ \(Position p, Entity e) -> liftIO . print $ (e, p)

main :: IO ()
main = initWorld >>= runSystem game
