An amorphous visual entity held together by binding forces.

Fields

name: String

position: Vec3

binding_field: ForceField

The core force holding the entity together. Usually Gravity.

glyph_ids: Vec<GlyphId>

IDs of glyphs that compose this entity.

formation: Vec<Vec3>

Target positions (relative to entity center) for each glyph.

formation_chars: Vec<char>

Character assigned to each formation slot.

formation_colors: Vec<Vec4>

Color assigned to each formation slot.

hp: f32

max_hp: f32

entity_mass: f32

entity_temperature: f32

entity_entropy: f32

cohesion: f32

0.0 = fully dispersed, 1.0 = tight formation. Driven by hp/max_hp: cohesion = (hp / max_hp).sqrt()

pulse_rate: f32

The entity’s pulse function (breathing/heartbeat rhythm).

pulse_depth: f32

age: f32

tags: Vec<String>

Arbitrary string tags for filtering/grouping.

despawn_requested: bool

Set to true to remove the entity on the next GC pass.

Implementations

impl AmorphousEntity

pub fn new(name: impl Into<String>, position: Vec3) -> Self

pub fn hp_frac(&self) -> f32

HP fraction [0, 1].

pub fn update_cohesion(&mut self)

Update cohesion based on current HP.

pub fn tick(&mut self, dt: f32, _time: f32) -> bool

Advance entity time. Returns true if the entity should be removed (hp <= 0).

pub fn take_damage(&mut self, amount: f32)

Apply damage to this entity.

pub fn is_dead(&self) -> bool

Return true if the entity is dead.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for AmorphousEntity

fn clone(&self) -> AmorphousEntity

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Default for AmorphousEntity

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.
