Onyx 0.3.1

➕ New features

• Entity Component System (ECS) Improvements

  • Refactored and polished ECS with cleaner dependency injection patterns.
  • Supported objects that can be used for the dependency injection are the following
    • EntityQuery<Ts...> for accessing filtered entities.
    • Non-entity parameters like GameTime, FrameContext and more.

  Systems are now plain C++ functions, with their dependencies injected via function parameters.

  using EntityQuery = Entity::EntityQuery<DirectionalLightComponent, const TransformComponent>;
  
  void system(EntityQuery entities, Graphics::FrameContext& frameContext, GameCore::GameTime& time)
  {
       auto view = entities.GetView();
       for (Entity::EntityId id : view)
       {
           const auto& transform = view.get<TransformComponent>(id);  // read-only
           auto& light = view.get<DirectionalLightComponent>(id);     // writable
           // Use both to populate lighting data...
       }
  }

• Added GameTime struct

  • Introduced zero abstraction for delta time in update functions so it can be easily detected for dependency injection

🛠 Fixes

• Clang Compatibility

  Adjusted usage of [[nodiscard]] to be compliant with Clang:
  Moved annotations to the front of constexpr and consteval functions.
  Ensured all relevant hash-related functions are properly marked.

• TypeID & Asset Selector Fixes

  • Corrected MaterialComponent and other asset-related systems to use the correct typeid.
  • Fixed incorrect CreateComponent logic and GetAvailableAssets queries in the entity registry.

• Samplers & Bindings

  • Fixed missing binding names for buffers in release builds.
  • Corrected hash calculation for samplers.

📄 Miscellaneous

README

• Added a build badge for build status visibility.
• Added a discord badge for community visibility.
