Registry System

The Registry System manages game content (items, abilities, enemies, etc.) with auto-discovery and serialization support.

Defining a Registry Entry

[Registry]
public class ItemDefinition
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int Value { get; set; }
}

Accessing the Registry

var item = Registry<ItemDefinition>.Get("sword");
var all = Registry<ItemDefinition>.GetAll();

Auto-Discovery

Ascendere scans for all classes marked with [Registry] at startup and registers them automatically. No manual registration needed.

Serialization

Registry entries are serializable by default, making them compatible with save/load and editor tooling.

Hot-Reloading

Changes to registry data can be reloaded at runtime without restarting the game, useful during development.
