Thoughts on adding a Resource type to esper? about esper HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @xFrednet,

I think the idea of a simple World subclass would be a good way to go. To prevent bloat, I'm not sure if I'd want to add something to the main code, but a simple example would be nice to include in repository perhaps.

For my personal projects, I tend to arrange them by Scenes. I use one World instance per Scene, and add the Processors on instantiation. For those that need it, I just pass a scene reference into those Processors that need it. Something like:

    def __init__(self):
        self.world.add_processor(AttackProcessor(scene=self))
        self.world.add_processor(CollisionProcessor(scene=self))
        self.world.add_processor(MovementProcessor())
        self.world.add_processor(CommandProcessor(scene=self))
        .....

All Scenes share the same high level Audio playback interface, and SaveGame interface, so all of the Processors with a reference to the scene will also be able to access these. The "SaveManager" is in essence a shared resource manager. Adding a dedicated resource manager in this same vein would be pretty easy to do.

Since I use separate World instances for each Scene in my designs, it makes sense to my brain. If I was going to use a single World instance for the entire application, I would probably just add things to the World instead (as you've mentioned).

Does this make sense? Sorry if it's a bit hard to follow 😅

Hey thank you very much for the response. It makes sense to split up the game into different scenes. I could also add the resources in the sub class if i really need them.

Thank you for the response 🙃
