- Material system and custom shader loading
- Custom systems, components and resources support
- Error chaining
- Launcher tool
- Game project hot-reloading
- Engine code hot-reloading
- Scene state de/serialization 🚧

## Getting Started
1. Install Rust
https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
2. Download and unpack this repository
3. Build Pill Launcher
`cargo build --release --manifest-path <ENGINE_PATH>\Pill-Engine\engine\pill_launcher\Cargo.toml`
4. Add Pill Launcher to PATH (optional)
On Windows: follow [these steps](https://superuser.com/questions/1861276/how-to-set-a-folder-to-the-path-environment-variable-in-windows-11) add `<ENGINE_PATH>\Pill-Engine\engine\pill_launcher\target\release`
On Linux: `echo 'export PATH="$PATH:<ENGINE_PATH>/Pill-Engine/engine/pill_launcher/target/release"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc`
and restart terminal
5. Create new game project
`PillLauncher.exe -a create -n Hello-Pill`
6. Run it!
`PillLauncher.exe -a run -p ./Hello-Pill`

Check [demo](examples/Floating-Pills "demo")!

### Quicker iteration times (hot-reloading)
1. When running the game example add `-c hot-reload` to the PillLauncher flags
2. Run the example
`PillLauncher.exe -c hot-reload -a run -p ./Hello-Pill`
3. Change the code in your Editor
4. Observe the game briefly pausing and resuming with changed world state
