Ari2D-Tutorial (WIP)

Ariyana 2Dsystem Tutorial in Beef

Prepare Project for using Ariyana in Beef

Creating a workspace in Beef

---

Firstly, we should create a workspace for our game, as there are many other projects that should be added to workspace as dependencies.

• Run the Beef IDE
• Create a new workspace by selecting Files/new/new workspace

Creating new project in Beef

here is the link for creating new project in Beef

Importing Ariyana Dependencies

---

Adding dependencies and project to workspace

Add these projects to the game workspace : Ariyana_beef , CurlBeef, JSON_beef, BeefExtensionsLib

Projects are located in "../ariyana/Beef/deps/"

WorkSpaces in Beef

---

All the workspace configs such as a list of projects' path and StartupProject in your workspace are in "BeefSpace.toml", which located in your project folder

here is the BeefSpace.toml of above workspace

FileVersion = 1
Projects = {Ari2D-Tutorial = {Path = "."}, Ariyana_beef = {Path = "../ariyana/Beef"}, JSON_Beef = {Path = "../ariyana/Beef/deps/JSON_Beef/lib"}, BeefExtensionsLib = {Path = "../ariyana/Beef/deps/Beef-Extensions-Lib"}, CurlBeef = {Path = "../ariyana/Beef/deps/CurlBeef"}}

[Workspace]
StartupProject = "Ari2D-Tutorial"

GameApp class

---

GameApp handles all the main functionality of the engine This class will derive from Application in Ariyana_beef

using ari;

namespace Ari2DTutorial
{
	class GameApp : Application
	{
		
	}
}

Initializing Ariyana

---

Creating a Chopping Board (I mean the window)

---

World and Systems

First of all we should our world entity in our "GameApp.bf".

class GameApp : Application
	{
		// Creating the world
		World world = new World();
		

Check out World.bf in Ariyana binding

As Ariyana is ECS(entiry component system) engine, all the main systems such as RenderSystem, SceneSystem and GuiSystem should be added to World Entity

All of the code for this post is available on Github.
