@sciurus/app

Core application framework for the Sciurus Engine, providing application lifecycle management and plugin system.

Architecture

The app package implements a modular application framework with three main components:

App System

The core application system manages the game engine lifecycle:

• App: Main application container that coordinates the entire system
• SubApp: Independent sub-applications with their own worlds and plugins
• World Integration: Seamless integration with the ECS system

Plugin System

Extensible plugin architecture for modular functionality:

• Plugin: Base interface for all plugins
• PluginGroup: Organizes multiple plugins into cohesive units
• Plugin Builder: Fluent API for configuring plugin groups and dependencies

Schedule System

Manages the application update loop with ordered execution phases:

• Main Schedule: Core update loop with fixed timestep support
• Schedule Phases:
  • PreStartup → Startup → PostStartup (initialization)
  • First → PreUpdate → StateTransition → Update → PostUpdate → Last (main loop)
• Fixed Update: Time-based update system for consistent simulation

Core Features

• Game Engine Foundation: Built for game development with ECS architecture
• Plugin System: Modular design for extensible functionality
• Fixed Timestep: Consistent update loop for game logic
• Multiple Worlds: Support for multiple independent ECS worlds
• Resource Management: Global state and resource handling
