Protocol

Our protocol crate defines the two message types for communicating between the game and mods.

[dependencies]
bevy_wasm_shared = "0.10"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }

use bevy_wasm_shared::prelude::*;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

/// The version of the protocol. Automatically set from the `CARGO_PKG_XXX` environment variables.
pub const PROTOCOL_VERSION: Version = version!();

/// A message to be sent Mod -> Game.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum ModMessage {
    Hello,
}

/// A message to be sent Game -> Mod.
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub enum GameMessage {
    HiThere,
}

Game

Our game will import WasmPlugin from bevy_wasm, and use it to automatically send and receive messages with the mods.

[dependencies]
bevy = "0.10"
bevy_wasm = "0.10"
my_game_protocol = { git = "https://github.com/username/my_game_protocol" }

use bevy::prelude::*;
use bevy_wasm::prelude::*;
use my_game_protocol::{GameMessage, ModMessage, PROTOCOL_VERSION};

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_plugin(WasmPlugin::<GameMessage, ModMessage>::new(PROTOCOL_VERSION))
        .add_startup_system(add_mods)
        .add_system(listen_for_mod_messages)
        .add_system(send_messages_to_mods)
        .run();
}

fn add_mods(mut commands: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    commands.spawn(WasmMod {
        wasm: asset_server.load("some_mod.wasm"),
    });
    commands.spawn(WasmMod {
        wasm: asset_server.load("some_other_mod.wasm"),
    })
}

fn listen_for_mod_messages(mut events: EventReader<ModMessage>) {
    for event in events.iter() {
        match event {
            ModMessage::Hello => {
                println!("The mod said hello!");
            }
        }
    }
}

fn send_messages_to_mods(mut events: EventWriter<GameMessage>) {
    events.send(GameMessage::HiThere);
}

Mod

Our mod will import FFIPlugin from bevy_wasm_sys, and use it to automatically send and receive messages with the game.

[dependencies]
bevy_wasm_sys = "0.10"
my_game_protocol = { git = "https://github.com/username/my_game_protocol" }

use bevy_wasm_sys::prelude::*;
use my_game_protocol::{GameMessage, ModMessage, PROTOCOL_VERSION};

#[no_mangle]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn build_app() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugin(FFIPlugin::<GameMessage, ModMessage>::new(PROTOCOL_VERSION))
        .add_system(listen_for_game_messages)
        .add_system(send_messages_to_game)
        .run();
}

fn listen_for_game_messages(mut events: EventReader<GameMessage>) {
    for event in events.iter() {
        match event {
            GameMessage::HiThere => {
                println!("The game said hi there!");
            }
        }
    }
}

fn send_messages_to_game(mut events: EventWriter<ModMessage>) {
    events.send(ModMessage::Hello);
}

Sharing Resources

Protocol:

#[derive(Resource, Default, Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct MyResource {
    pub value: i32,
}

Game:

App::new()
    ...
    .add_resource(MyResource { value: 0 })
    .add_plugin(
        WasmPlugin::<GameMessage, ModMessage>::new(PROTOCOL_VERSION)
            .share_resource::<MyResource>()
    )
    .add_system(change_resource_value)
    ...

fn change_resource_value(mut resource: ResMut<MyResource>) {
    resource.value += 1;
}

Mod:

App::new()
    ...
    .add_plugin(FFIPlugin::<GameMessage, ModMessage>::new(PROTOCOL_VERSION))
    .add_startup_system(setup)
    .add_system(print_resource_value)
    ...

fn setup(mut extern_resource: ResMut<ExternResources>) {
    extern_resources.insert::<MyResource>();
}

fn print_resource_value(resource: ExternRes<MyResource>) {
    println!("MyResource value: {}", resource.value);
}
