🎮 Example Usage

Creating a Simple Game

// Create game instance
const game = new GameForge({
  canvas: document.getElementById('game-canvas'),
  width: 1280,
  height: 720
});

// Initialize game
await game.init();

// Create player
const player = game.createEntity({
  components: {
    transform: { position: { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0 } },
    mesh: { geometry: 'cube', material: 'player-material' },
    physics: { mass: 1, shape: 'capsule' },
    playerController: { speed: 5.0 }
  }
});

// Create enemies
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  const enemy = game.createEntity({
    components: {
      transform: { 
        position: { 
          x: Math.random() * 20 - 10, 
          y: 0, 
          z: Math.random() * 20 - 10 
        } 
      },
      mesh: { geometry: 'sphere', material: 'enemy-material' },
      physics: { mass: 1, shape: 'sphere' },
      ai: { behavior: 'patrol', speed: 2.0 }
    }
  });
}

// Start game loop
game.start();

Visual Scripting Example

// Create a simple health system with visual scripting
const healthSystem = new VisualScriptingSystem();

// Add nodes
const startNode = healthSystem.createNode('Start');
const healthCheck = healthSystem.createNode('Greater', { 
  inputs: { 
    A: 'CurrentHealth', 
    B: 0 
  } 
});
const gameOver = healthSystem.createNode('End');
const printNode = healthSystem.createNode('Print', { 
  inputs: { 
    Message: 'Game Over!' 
  } 
});

// Connect nodes
healthSystem.createConnection(startNode, 'Out', healthCheck, 'In');
healthSystem.createConnection(healthCheck, 'True', printNode, 'In');
healthSystem.createConnection(printNode, 'Out', gameOver, 'In');
