In Godot, managing complex entities with inheritance leads to brittle architectures. godot-composition provides a composition-based approach to assemble entities from small, reusable components, reducing coupling and increasing reuse.
Create a new Godot entity using the composition pattern by wiring an Orchestrator to InputComponent, MovementComponent, and HealthComponent, then run a simple tick loop.

Structure Godot entities using composition by assembling small, reusable components that encapsulate single responsibilities, bound together by an orchestrator that delegates logic and coordinates interactions. This reduces coupling and increases reuse.
Inheritance leads to brittle architecture in Godot because deep hierarchies create tight coupling, making entity behavior changes error-prone. Using composition avoids these pitfalls by assembling small, reusable components instead of relying on rigid parent-child relationships.
The best way to decouple player controllers and NPCs is using an orchestrator pattern with explicit component interfaces. Typed dependency injection passes references, while signals handle upward communication, preventing direct dependencies between gameplay systems.
Set up a tick loop for a Godot entity by wiring an orchestrator to Input, Movement, and Health components, then running a simple tick loop. The orchestrator delegates logic execution to each component every frame to process gameplay behavior.
You should not use the orchestrator and component pattern in Godot for very simple entities with minimal behavior, where the overhead of structuring entities as orchestrators and components outweighs the maintainability benefits of decoupled architecture.
