bevy 0.17.2

//! This example shows how to send, mutate, and receive, messages. It also demonstrates
//! how to control system ordering so that messages are processed in a specific order.
//! It does this by simulating a damage over time effect that you might find in a game.

// This message should be sent when something attempts to deal damage to another entity.

// Next we define systems that send, mutate, and receive messages
// This system reads 'DamageTimer', updates it, then sends a 'DealDamage' message
// if the timer has finished.

// Messages are sent using an 'MessageWriter<T>' by calling 'write' or 'write_default'.
// The 'write_default' method will send the message with the default value if the message
