Bevy quickstart

cargo add bevy_ghx_proc_gen

Steps 1 to 3 are the same as in the ghx_proc_gen Quickstart.

1. To automatically spawn our assets for us, we use the ProcGenSimplePlugin

  app.add_plugins(ProcGenSimplePlugin::<Cartesian2D, PbrMesh>::new());

1. To see something in the Bevy viewport, we setup assets in a RulesModelsAssets:

fn setup_generator(
    mut commands: Commands,
    mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
    mut materials: ResMut<Assets<StandardMaterial>>,
) {
  // ... Steps 1 to 3: Generator setup ...

  // Simple procedural cube mesh and materials.
  let cube_mesh = meshes.add(Mesh::from(shape::Cube { size: CUBE_SIZE }));
  let white_mat = materials.add(Color::WHITE.into());
  let black_mat = materials.add(Color::BLACK.into());*
  // We create our models asset here, in a separate collection for the sake of simplicity.
  // (We could also declare them with our models)
  let mut models_assets = RulesModelsAssets::<PbrMesh>::new();
  models_assets.add_asset(0, PbrMesh {
          mesh: cube_mesh.clone(),
          material: white_mat,
      },
  );
  models_assets.add_asset(1, PbrMesh {
          mesh: cube_mesh.clone(),
          material: black_mat,
      },
  );

  // ...
}

3. Spawn an Entity with a GeneratorBundle:

  // The ProcGenSimplePlugin will detect this, generate and spawn the nodes. 
  commands.spawn(GeneratorBundle {
      spatial: SpatialBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_translation(Vec3::new(
          -grid.size_x() as f32 / 2., -grid.size_y() as f32 / 2., 0.,
      ))),
      grid,
      generator,
      asset_spawner: AssetSpawner::new(models_assets, NODE_SIZE, Vec3::ONE),
  });

Bevy plugins

• Check out the GridDebugPlugin from bevy_ghx_grid which provides debug utilities for the grid-types used by ghx_proc_gen.

ghx_proc_gen does not need a plugin to work, but if you want a really quick way to get started, or are in need of some debug utilities for your generations, there are some ready-made plugins for this:

• ProcGenSimplePlugin: Really simple, just here to generate and spawn the nodes assets. See its sources.

• ProcGenDebugPlugin [Depends on GridDebugPlugin]: Just a bit more complex, and not focused on performance but rather on demos & debugging use-cases. You can view the generation one step at a time, see where the contradiction occurs and more. See its sources.

Both of those plugins start their work when you insert the components from a GeneratorBundle on an Entity.

Cargo features

Find the list and description in Cargo.toml

• default-assets-bundle-spawners: This feature compiles simple AssetBundleSpawner impl for a few basic types. Disable the feature if you don't need them, or want to customize their implementation.
• simple-plugin compiles the simple plugin and its systems.
• debug-plugin compiles the debug plugin, the grid debug plugin and their systems.
