Why Weave?

Imagine the state of your game as individual pieces of data.

When variables change, you want your game to reflect those changes.

You may try something like this:

local eggCount = 0
local isQuestComplete = false

local function updateEggCountUI()
    PlayerGui.Quests.FirstQuest.CountText.Text = eggCount
end

local function updateCheckmarkUI()
    PlayerGui.Quests.FirstQuest.Checkmark.Visible = isQuestComplete
end

local function updateQuestComplete()
    isQuestComplete = eggCount >= 10

    updateCheckmarkUI()
end

local function setEggCount(newEggCount)
    eggCount = newEggCount
    -- you need to send out updates to every piece of code using `eggCount` here
    updateQuestComplete()
    updateQuestUI()
    updateEggCountToServer()
end

This often gets messy.

Because whenever we change the value, we have to update everything in the game that variable relies on.

• And every variable that variable relies on.

• And everything in the game those variables rely on

• And so on and so on...

A Better Way

What if when we set value it updated everywhere automatically, like magic ✨

That's what Weave does.

Hence the motto, set it and forget it
