Deleting an entity now removes its sprite from the renderer ...

Internal collection of actions was previously called "Queue", but as they're all executed in parallel this didn't make much sense -

-
Updated ScriptEngineService to use LispMax ...
This is probably the biggest update to the internals since entities were added. It allows a piece of LISP script to be attached to any entity (using the Scriptable component). This code can then added event executed during startup, attach event listeners and pause its own execution. It's more complex than the old trigger/condition/action way of doing things, but it's far more powerful and works well with the templating system -
Fixed bug in actor movement system where player could glitch through walls ...
If the player pressed two directions at once the system would check collision for one direction whilst moving the player in another. Whoops -
Updated resource loader to sort by Z-index ...
-
Updated base EventEntitySystem to use new event callback system
-
Added "moveTo" helper to render body.
-
Added new "Background Actions" service ...
The background actions service takes care of running actions that need to last more than one frame. Actions can be added to the service, and they will be executed each frame until finished. At the moment it can be used to render message boxes and shake the camera -
Added a basic service for wrapping the ContentDb ...
Nothing fancy, just wraps content loading and querying -
Added font helper methods to the resource service
-
Updated the player system to take advantage of the new event system ...
Previously it would have to get an instance of each system that listened for the event. Now it can just send the event and target entity (the player) and the rest is handled automatically -
Added new scriptable and properties components ...
"Scriptable" is used for attaching a Lisp script to an entity. These scripts are executed by the ScriptEngineService in a fake thread, so multiple scripts can work at the same time (if written to). "Properties" is used to attach generic property information to an entity when a component isn't really required. These properties can be also accessed by the script system -
Added new systems for working with "Scriptable" component
