Objective
Solution
ReactiveComponent
type that automatically inserts and updates a component of typeOutput
on the same entity whenever the source entity's component of typeInput
changes (as detected by change detection ticks)Implementation issues
update_reactive_components
driver system loops over every single expression any time an expression changes. It would be ideal if we could track affected components, and only re-run expressions that would be affected. But for the initial prototype, performance isn't too important anyways.Not implemented/tested
