explicit schemas

Open NateTheGreatt opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

it may be wise to use explicit schemas instead of using the SoA objects themselves as the schema, and then pass the SoA objects into the reader/writer functions themselves. this would allow reading/writing from/to different SoA objects that have the same schemas

e.g.

const n = 100

const Vector3SoA = { x: new Float32Array(n), y: new Float32Array(n), z: new Float32Array(n) }

const Vector3Schema = { x: Float32Array, y: Float32Array, z: Float32Array }

const config = [Vector3Schema]

const objects = [Vector3SoA]

const write = createDataWriter(config)
const read = createDataRead(config)

const indices = [1,2,3,4]
const data = write(objects, indices)

read(objects, data)
