Entity component system about conrod HOT 4 CLOSED

For example, a button with an image and a button with text share the 'button' property which is just a way to label all objects that can behave like buttons. They can use two different algorithms or one algorithm that supports both. The property design allows an unrestricted type system with full Boolean algebra.

All objects can be put in a flat structure like Vec and we store indexes on top of this structure to refer to any subset of these objects.

@bvssvni, That description of a 'property' sounds exactly like a trait, doesn't it?

from conrod.

A "property" is a type like Size, WidgetCollection or the simplest representation that has a unique semantic meaning.

More complex types, such as Canvas, Button etc. are derived at run time by algorithms that look for a set of properties.
