Lesson 4: Templates

Templates let you define reusable object blueprints.

Concept: Reusable definitions

template "Button" {
  color: "blue"
  scale: 0.2
  @highlight
  @grabbable
}

orb "OkButton" {
  ...Button
  color: "green"    # override just the color
  position: [0, 1, -2]
}

orb "CancelButton" {
  ...Button
  color: "red"
  position: [0.5, 1, -2]
}

The spread operator ...Template copies all template properties.

Try it:

template "Gem" {
  scale: 0.15
  @physics { mass: 0.01 }
  @grabbable
}

orb "RedGem"   { ...Gem  color: "red"    position: [-1, 1, -2] }
orb "BlueGem"  { ...Gem  color: "blue"   position: [0,  1, -2] }
orb "GreenGem" { ...Gem  color: "green"  position: [1,  1, -2] }

Your turn:

Create a "Furniture" template with @physics and mass: 5.0, then create a "Chair" orb from it.
