Concepts

Jobs

Jobs are async threads of execution that can be stopped at any time and can have child jobs that stop when their parent job stops.

These are spawned via scene.do() or job.do() e.g.:

const exampleJob = scene.do(async job => {
  ...
});

Entities

Entities are a syntactic convenience for creating a job blueprint with its own interface and ready to be reused.

These are spawned via scene.create() or job.create() e.g.:

const exampleEntity = scene.create(ExampleEntity, {run, args});

Components

Components like drawing or collision detection can be registered with jobs and get auto cleaned up when the job stops.

Game

The game engine itself, the root owner of all active jobs.
