Components

Overview

Components give an object capabilities without making every object responsible for everything. A movement component, visual component, or interaction component can keep its work focused.

Document how components attach to objects, receive lifecycle callbacks, and find other components. Use this space for the actual SoftLEASH composition patterns and constraints.

LÖVE example

A small, plain LÖVE example for the draft. Replace this snippet with the documented SoftLEASH API and a focused use case later.

local g = love.graphics
local obj = { x = 40, y = 100 }
local vel = { x = 60, y = 0 }

function love.update(dt)
    obj.x = obj.x + vel.x * dt
    obj.y = obj.y + vel.y * dt
end

function love.draw()
    g.circle(
        "fill", obj.x, obj.y, 12
    )
end

local g = love.graphics
local obj = { x = 40, y = 100 }
local vel = { x = 60, y = 0 }

function love.update(dt)
    obj.x = obj.x + vel.x * dt
    obj.y = obj.y + vel.y * dt
end

function love.draw()
    g.circle(
        "fill", obj.x, obj.y, 12
    )
end

local g = love.graphics
local obj = { x = 40, y = 100 }
local vel = { x = 60, y = 0 }

function love.update(dt)
    obj.x = obj.x + vel.x * dt
    obj.y = obj.y + vel.y * dt
end

function love.draw()
    g.circle(
        "fill", obj.x, obj.y, 12
    )
end

What to document next

• Attaching and removing components.

• Lifecycle order and dependencies.

• Sharing data without unnecessary coupling.
