Detailed Description

The world.

The world is the container of all ECS data and systems. If the world is deleted, all data in the world will be deleted as well.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ world() [1/5]

flecs::world::world ( )
inlineexplicit

Create world.

Definition at line 140 of file world.hpp.

◆ world() [2/5]

flecs::world::world ( int argc,
char * argv[] )
inlineexplicit

Create world with command line arguments.

Currently command line arguments are not interpreted, but they may be used in the future to configure Flecs parameters.

Definition at line 149 of file world.hpp.

◆ world() [3/5]

flecs::world::world ( world_t * w)
inlineexplicit

Create world from C world.

Definition at line 156 of file world.hpp.

◆ world() [4/5]

flecs::world::world ( const world & obj)
inline

Not allowed to copy a world.

May only take a reference.

Definition at line 165 of file world.hpp.

◆ world() [5/5]

flecs::world::world ( world && obj)
inlinenoexcept

Member Function Documentation

◆ add() [1/4]

template<typename T >
void flecs::world::add ( ) const
inline

Add singleton component.

Definition at line 173 of file world.hpp.

◆ add() [2/4]

template<typename First , typename Second >
void flecs::world::add ( ) const
inline

Adds a pair to the singleton component.

Template Parameters
FirstThe first element of the pair
SecondThe second element of the pair

Definition at line 179 of file world.hpp.

◆ add() [3/4]

void flecs::world::add ( flecs::entity_t first,
flecs::entity_t second ) const
inline

Adds a pair to the singleton entity.

Parameters
firstThe first element of the pair
secondThe second element of the pair

Definition at line 190 of file world.hpp.

◆ add() [4/4]

template<typename First >
void flecs::world::add ( flecs::entity_t second) const
inline

Adds a pair to the singleton component.

Template Parameters
FirstThe first element of the pair
Parameters
secondThe second element of the pair.

Definition at line 185 of file world.hpp.

◆ async_stage()

flecs::world flecs::world::async_stage ( ) const
inline

Create asynchronous stage.

An asynchronous stage can be used to asynchronously queue operations for later merging with the world. An asynchronous stage is similar to a regular stage, except that it does not allow reading from the world.

Asynchronous stages are never merged automatically, and must therefore be manually merged with the ecs_merge function. It is not necessary to call defer_begin or defer_end before and after enqueuing commands, as an asynchronous stage unconditionally defers operations.

The application must ensure that no commands are added to the stage while the stage is being merged.

Returns
The stage.

Definition at line 477 of file world.hpp.

◆ frame_begin()

ecs_ftime_t flecs::world::frame_begin ( float delta_time = 0) const
inline

Begin frame.

When an application does not use progress() to control the main loop, it can still use Flecs features such as FPS limiting and time measurements. This operation needs to be invoked whenever a new frame is about to get processed.

Calls to frame_begin() must always be followed by frame_end().

The function accepts a delta_time parameter, which will get passed to systems. This value is also used to compute the amount of time the function needs to sleep to ensure it does not exceed the target_fps, when it is set. When 0 is provided for delta_time, the time will be measured.

This function should only be ran from the main thread.

Parameters
delta_timeTime elapsed since the last frame.
Returns
The provided delta_time, or measured time if 0 was provided.

flecs::world::frame_end()

Definition at line 281 of file world.hpp.

◆ frame_end()

◆ get_stage()

flecs::world flecs::world::get_stage ( int32_t stage_id) const
inline

Get stage-specific world pointer.

Flecs threads can safely invoke the API as long as they have a private context to write to, also referred to as the stage. This function returns a pointer to a stage, disguised as a world pointer.

Note that this function does not(!) create a new world. It simply wraps the existing world in a thread-specific context, which the API knows how to unwrap. The reason the stage is returned as an ecs_world_t is so that it can be passed transparently to the existing API functions, vs. having to create a dediated API for threading.

Parameters
stage_idThe index of the stage to retrieve.
Returns
A thread-specific pointer to the world.

Definition at line 458 of file world.hpp.

◆ get_stage_count()

Returns
The stage id.

Definition at line 411 of file world.hpp.
