WIP: Entity generator for Irene

Receives an json input file, outputs a #nelua code file.

(The json "schema" will change later, I'll try some ideias inspired by gltf)

Hopefully this will make tool making easier later.

For now, the most near I found was LDtk and Hyperlap2D.

Hi, is there "framework/engine-agnostic" editors being developed? Like, something like the Unity editor that could be used with any framework like love2d for example.

Trying o3de engine now following the pong tutorial, a bit heavy for my poor 8gb RAM machine, however, I'm quite liking the workflow until now.

I only had two problems actually: one it's installing the VS stuff which microsoft really likes to make it a very painful experience (thus, not o3de related really)

The second it's by creating the project, it really takes 100% of my computer, at the point freezing it, surprisenly though, the actual editor it's not that heavy.

source code commit btw: https://github.com/Andre-LA/irene/commit/67e62205ccf3997e477522be31470594d026486d

Btw I'm using Kenney's 1-Bit Platformer Pack:

Implemented a Pixel Art Camera entity to Irene.

Not only it makes pixel-perfect easier for pixel art games, but I also added the flexibility to add split screen!

I'm so glad with this result, it was my first try making split-screen.

Rewritting the irene's lunar lander, and ugh, the code seems so bad today, I'm glad I'm just removing it and replacing with a muvh more sane code.

What I was thinking when I made that??

And yes, it's open source :D

After writing and rewriting my ecs library "Rotor", it's now improved and much easier/simpler to run hierarchy systems.

The example "entity_tree" showcases it with an unrealistic solar system (just a Sun -> Earth -> Moon tree).

I thought it would be simple, but turns out that a entire workaround was needed in order to do it with the limitations, so I really needed to improve the library for that.

Fortunately, Rotor it's still pretty simple and the abstractions only have compile-time costs :3

(crosspost test with my twitter account, please ignore)

Starting migrating my "private/internal" engine to Irene (my open source engine).

In other words, it's a rewrite from scratch, but it's a bit sad discarding the old code, so, I think I'll try to also use the old (and not reimplemented) features.
