actor

A set of utilities for iterating over a hierarchy of actor-like objects, as well as managing tag-based lookups. Objects are assumed to have a "objects" property, pointing to children or sub-objects, forming a tree.

all_objects(fn, startobj)

Iterate over each object (and its sub-objects) in the hierarchy, calling fn for each one.

fn: A callback function that receives each object. If it returns a truthy value, iteration stops and that value is returned.

startobj: The root object at which iteration begins, default is the global "world".

Returns: The first truthy value returned by fn, or undefined if none.

find_object(fn, startobj)

Intended to find a matching object within the hierarchy.

fn: A callback or criteria to locate a particular object.

startobj: The root object at which search begins, default "world".

Returns: Not yet implemented.

tag_add(tag, obj)

Associate the given object with the specified tag. Creates a new tag set if it does not exist.

tag: A string tag to associate with the object.

obj: The object to add under this tag.

Returns: None

tag_rm(tag, obj)

Remove the given object from the specified tags set, if it exists.

tag: The tag to remove the object from.

obj: The object to remove from the tag set.

Returns: None

tag_clear_guid(obj)

Remove the object from all tag sets.

obj: The object whose tags should be cleared.

Returns: None

objects_with_tag(tag)

Retrieve all objects currently tagged with the specified tag.

tag: A string tag to look up.

Returns: An array of objects associated with the given tag.
