0 A quick glance at GuayScript

GuayScript is the of the central piecea of the Guay Framework. Its main goal is to provide your scripts a clean and very intuitive API to interface with a real component-based environment. The example below shows how simple is to communicate with the system. There's no need of looking for specific components, thus avoiding the creation of ugly dependencies.

I'll explain it all in detail in future posts.

Example of a typical GuayScript script

    //
    // Health script. Makes a GameObject to have 'life'
    // 'Implements' the HealthInterface interface
    //
    public class Health : GuayScript
    {
        GameObject OtherGameObject;
        public float MaxCapacity;
        public float Amount;

        public Health()
        {
            var dead = false;
            var currentHealth = Amount;

            OnAwake = _properties =>
            {
                Messages[ HealthInterface.CmdIncrease ] = ( _id, _args ) => currentHealth += _args.Get();
                Messages[ HealthInterface.CmdDecrease ] = ( _id, _args ) => currentHealth -= _args.Get();
                Messages[ HealthInterface.CmdRefill   ] = ( _id, _args ) => currentHealth = MaxCapacity;
                Messages[ HealthInterface.CmdDie      ] = ( _id, _args ) => currentHealth = 0;
            };

            OnUpdate = _deltaTime =>
            {
                if( dead )
                    return;

                if( currentHealth <= 0 )
                {
                    dead = true;

                    // components say interesting things through the Notify function 
                    Notify( HealthInterface.EvDead );

                    // components can also say interesting things to other objects
                    OtherGameObject.Send( HealthInterface.EvDead );
                }
            };

        }
    }
