/// This is a guided introduction to Bevy's "Entity Component System" (ECS)
/// All Bevy app logic is built using the ECS pattern, so definitely pay attention!
///
/// Why ECS?
/// * Data oriented: Functionality is driven by data
/// * Clean Architecture: Loose coupling of functionality / prevents deeply nested inheritance
/// * High Performance: Massively parallel and cache friendly
///
/// ECS Definitions:
///
/// Component: just a normal Rust data type. generally scoped to a single piece of functionality
///     Examples: position, velocity, health, color, name
///
/// Entity: a collection of components with a unique id
///     Examples: Entity1 { Name("Alice"), Position(0, 0) }, Entity2 { Name("Bill"), Position(10, 5)
/// }

/// Resource: a shared global piece of data
///     Examples: asset_storage, events, system state
///
/// System: runs logic on entities, components, and resources
///     Examples: move_system, damage_system
///
/// Now that you know a little bit about ECS, lets look at some Bevy code!
/// We will now make a simple "game" to illustrate what Bevy's ECS looks like in practice.

// COMPONENTS: Pieces of functionality we add to entities. These are just normal Rust data types
//

// Our game will have a number of "players". Each player has a name that identifies them
struct Player {
    name: String,
}

// Each player also has a score. This component holds on to that score
struct Score {
    value: usize,
}

// RESOURCES: "Global" state accessible by systems. These are also just normal Rust data types!
//

// This resource holds information about the game:
#[derive(Default)]
struct GameState {
    current_round: usize,
    total_players: usize,
    winning_player: Option<String>,
}

// This resource provides rules for our "game".
struct GameRules {
    winning_score: usize,
    max_rounds: usize,
    max_players: usize,
}

// SYSTEMS: Logic that runs on entities, components, and resources. These generally run once each
// time the app updates.
//

// This is the simplest type of system. It just prints "This game is fun!" on each run:
fn print_message_system() {
    println!("This game is fun!");
}

// Systems can also read and modify resources. This system starts a new "round" on each update:
// NOTE: "mut" denotes that the resource is "mutable"
// Res<GameRules> is read-only. ResMut<GameState> can modify the resource
fn new_round_system(game_rules: Res<GameRules>, mut game_state: ResMut<GameState>) {
    game_state.current_round += 1;
    println!(
        "Begin round {} of {}",
        game_state.current_round, game_rules.max_rounds
    );
}

// This system updates the score for each entity with the "Player" and "Score" component.
fn score_system(mut query: Query<(&Player, &mut Score)>) {
    for (player, mut score) in query.iter_mut() {
        let scored_a_point = random::<bool>();
        if scored_a_point {
            score.value += 1;
            println!(
                "{} scored a point! Their score is: {}",

    }

// accesses the "GameRules" resource to determine if a player has won.

// Sometimes systems need their own unique "local" state. Bevy's ECS provides Local<T> resources for
// this case. Local<T> resources are unique to their system and are automatically initialized on
// your behalf (if they don't already exist). If you have a system's id, you can also access local
// resources directly in the Resources collection using `Resources::get_local()`. In general you
// should only need this feature in the following cases:  1. You have multiple instances of the same
// system and they each need their own unique state  2. You already have a global version of a
// resource that you don't want to overwrite for your current system  3. You are too lazy to
// register the system's resource as a global resource

        // SYSTEM EXECUTION ORDER
        //
        // Each system belongs to a `Stage`, which controls the execution strategy and broad order
        // of the systems within each tick. Startup stages (which startup systems are
        // registered in) will always complete before ordinary stages begin,
        // and every system in a stage must complete before the next stage advances.
        // Once every stage has concluded, the main loop is complete and begins again.
        //
        // By default, all systems run in parallel, except when they require mutable access to a
        // piece of data. This is efficient, but sometimes order matters.
        // For example, we want our "game over" system to execute after all other systems to ensure
        // we don't accidentally run the game for an extra round.
        //
        // Rather than splitting each of your systems into separate stages, you should force an
        // explicit ordering between them by giving the relevant systems a label with
        // `.label`, then using the `.before` or `.after` methods. Systems will not be
        // scheduled until all of the systems that they have an "ordering dependency" on have
        // completed.
        //
        // Doing that will, in just about all cases, lead to better performance compared to
        // splitting systems between stages, because it gives the scheduling algorithm more
        // opportunities to run systems in parallel.
        // Stages are still necessary, however: end of a stage is a hard sync point
        // (meaning, no systems are running) where `Commands` issued by systems are processed.
        // This is required because commands can perform operations that are incompatible with
        // having systems in flight, such as spawning or deleting entities,
        // adding or removing resources, etc.
        //
        // add_system(system) adds systems to the UPDATE stage by default
