UUIDCollisionResolver #227

Description

I'm trying to integrate cereal serialization library with entityx

Also I have read #117, #14 and #25

I got four basic ideas:

  1. We should use custom UUID component instead of Entity id
  2. For serialization we should check manually if entity has specific components (and, well, iterate through all of them)
  3. (because of 2) We should manually decide what components should be registered and how components should be serialized/deserialized
  4. To iterate over all alive entities we must use entities_for_debugging(). It marked "not very fast, so should only be used for debugging", but well I don't see any other alternatives for serialization

My big question is: how elegantly implement UUIDCollisionResolver? I mean, UUIDGenerator automatically attaches UUID component for every new Entity, and when we try to deserialize some entities from external file here is high probability that UUIDs of that entities are already taken

Also, some components can store UUID in themselves, so UUID must be replaced with a correct one too

To be more specific, lets say we have such components:

struct UUID
{
    //UUID(...) {...}

    uint32_t value;
};

struct TreeNode
{
    //TreeNode(...) {...}

    std::string name;
};

struct Transform
{
    //Transform(...) {...}

    glm::vec3 position;
    glm::vec3 scale;
    glm::vec3 rotation;

    bool is_dirty;
    glm::mat4 cache;

    UUID parent;
    std::list<UUID> childs; 
};
