Question: who should add the "entities" to the scene?

[endel]

Hi @fernandojsg, really nice API you got there! Thanks for sharing this.

Following ECS and other design patterns, I'm wondering who's the responsibility of adding an entity to the scene, into the right container? A "controller"? 👀

Speaking of THREE.js, an Object3D should be added (.add()) somewhere. Maybe in the root scene, maybe as a child in another object.

Do you have an opinion about this?
Thanks!

For example, let's say an EnemySpawnerSystem decides to spawn a new enemy / entity. How should this system know where to add it to the scene? 👀

Hi @endel ! thanks for your interest on the project, happy that you like it so far :)
We would like to use github for issues about the core library itself instead of usage questions and so, similar how they do on other libraries as three.js and moving these kind of discussions to a forum, in this case this one: https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/mixed-reality/ecsy
So it could be also a useful source of info for people using the lib.
Do you mind starting a thread there and I'll go ahead and close this one? :)
Thanks again!

Alright, I was going to register on Mozilla discourse but this error is appearing on the console whenever I click to login/register 😭

Ouch, I'll report that, could you give it a try on firefox? it worked for me there :)

@endel I just got confirmation that it was fixed already, you can try on chrome again :)
