This PR adds a framework for Tool Qualities. This is done via adding a new Tool Quality Container Component, which allows any arbitrary datum to have tool qualities, which can be checked for by other systems as desired. These are handled as key/value pairs in an associative list, allowing atoms to have different quality levels as a given tool, such as being a "level 3 crowbar" and a "level 1 hammer" at the same time. --------- Signed-off-by: Batrachophreno <Batrochophreno@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Batrachophreno <Batrochophreno@gmail.com>
Datum Component System (DCS)
Concept
Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
See this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.
