Two ways to build a scene

A scene is ECS content: entities with components. Write it in whichever form suits you.

• Write Kotlin: the scene DSL

  ---

  Build entities in code with scene { entity("…") { … } }, and add systems that run every frame.

  Your first scene

• Describe it as data: scene documents

  ---

  Describe a scene as data in a *.scene.json file, by hand or in AwakeKt Studio, and load it at runtime.

  Load a scene document

Both forms describe the same ECS components; neither is a separate engine.
