## Overview

Dotrix has a flat linear ECS (Entity Component System) in its core, designed for fast querying of
entities and their components.

1. **Entities** in Dotrix are virtual abstractions, identified by `EntityId` component containing
numerical ID. Each entitiy agregates constant number of components.
2. **Components** are regular Rust structures.
3. **Systems** are Rust functions, implementing the core logic of a game.
4. **Services** are Rust objects available through systems, providing some key
features or access to global resources, like Assets, Input or Render management.

## Editor

Editor application is under development in the separate [branch](https://github.com/lowenware/dotrix/tree/feat/editor)

## Getting started

The best place to start is to review examples distributed with the engine. All examples are grouped
under [examples/](examples/) folder. Later when API becomes more or less stable we will prepare a
Book for a quick start.

## Examples
[![Demo Example](https://img.youtube.com/vi/KXOr_KxMNWM/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXOr_KxMNWM)

**Features:** input, skeletal animation, light, terrain, player control
```
cargo run --release --example demo
```

**Features:** Light, UI, camera control
```
cargo run --release --example light
```

**Features:** skeletal animation, light, camera control
```
cargo run --release --example animation
```

**Features:** skybox, camera control
```
cargo run --release --example skybox
```

**Features:** window management
```
cargo run --release --example window
```
