Godot with Entitas and Zenject

Godot proof of concept test project with external C# plugins created mainly for Unity:

• Entitas - ECS framework (v1.14.1)
• Zenject - dependency injection framework (v9.1.0)

Installation notes

Entitas

• Download Entitas.zip and Jenny.zip.
• Create new folder Entitas inside your Godot project and extract Entitas.zip inside it.
• Extract Jenny.zip directly to to the root of your project.
• Make sure to create C# project and solution of your project. You can do it by creating a C# script inside Godot.
• In your .csproj add references to the following .dll files:
  • Entitas\DesperateDevs\DesperateDevs.Caching.dll
  • Entitas\DesperateDevs\DesperateDevs.Extensions.dll
  • Entitas\DesperateDevs\DesperateDevs.Reflection.dll
  • Entitas\DesperateDevs\DesperateDevs.Serialization.dll
  • Entitas\DesperateDevs\DesperateDevs.Threading.dll
  • Entitas\Entitas\Entitas.dll
  • Entitas\Entitas\Entitas.CodeGeneration.Attributes.dll
  • In Rider you can do it by right clicking on your project > Add > Add reference....
• Run console command dotnet Jenny\Jenny.Generator.Cli.dll in the root folder to generate Jenny.properties.
• Edit Jenny.properties:
  • Add Jenny and Entitas\Entitas paths to the Jenny.SearchPaths.
  • Set Jenny.Plugins.ProjectPath with your .csproj file.
  • Set Jenny.Plugins.TargetDirectory to Generated or any other folder where you want your generated files to be placed.
  • Set Entitas.CodeGeneration.Plugins.Contexts to your needs.
• To generate code use command dotnet Jenny\Jenny.Generator.Cli.dll gen.
  • If you run into some generation errors try removing Generated folder first.
  • Use shell script _JennyGenerateScript.sh to do it automatically.
• If you run in some other issues, check out godot-entitas-template repo by Guendeli.

Zenject

• Download Zenject-NonUnity@v9.1.0.zip.
• Create folder Zenject and extract .dll files there.
• Add references to all the Zenject .dll files in your csproj.

Project notes

Check out Game/MainScene.tscn and Game/Sources folder for the example setup. In Game/Sources/Core you can find ports of the Unity Zenject scripts and an Entitas controller.

Caution

This setup worked on Windows and I haven't tried building the project yet.
