Adding light to your game

To add a directional light (such as the sun), follow these steps:

1. Create an entity to represent the light.
2. Create a directional light instance.
3. Add both the entity and the directional light to the lighting system.

Here’s how you can do it:

class GameScene{

    init(){

        // ... other initializations ...
        
        // Step 1: Create an entity for the directional light
        let sunEntity: EntityID = createEntity()

        // Step 2: Create the directional light instance
        let sun: DirectionalLight = DirectionalLight()

        // Step 3: Add the entity and the light to the lighting system
        lightingSystem.addDirectionalLight(entityID: sunEntity, light: sun)

    }

}

This setup ensures the directional light is registered in the lighting system, ready to illuminate your scene.
