Bevy
Bevy is an open-source game engine built in Rust, and is the origianl usecase for Dexterous Developer. As a result, it's adapter provides a wide set of supported features.
Supported Features
- System Replacement and Registration
- Reloading and Resetting Resources
- Reloading Components and Re-Running Setup Functions
- Replacing Events
- Reloading States
Warning
Note that you cannot use Resources, Components, Events or States registered in a reloadable scope outside of the elements systems tied to that scope. Otherwise, you run the risk of running into undefined behaviour.
For example:
#![allow(unused)] fn main() { reloadable_main!((initial_plugins) { App::new() .add_plugins(initial_plugins.initialize::<DefaultPlugins>()) .setup_reloadable_elements::<reloadable>() // This will fail after reload since it queries MyComponent, which // is registered as a serializable component. .add_systems(Update, count_components) .run(); }); #[derive(Component, Serialize, Deserialize)] struct MyComponent; impl SerializableType for MyComponent { fn get_type_name() -> &'static str { "MyComponent" } } reloadable_scope!(reloadable(app) { app .register_serializable_component::<Myomponent>() // Instead, place any systems that rely on elements that are reloadable // within the reloadable scope. .add_systems(Update, count_components); }) fn count_components(query: Query<&MyComponent>) { /../ } }
This is because reloadable elements will be replaced with potentailly different types, but the systems registered in reloadable_main
will keep using the old version.
