plugin.rs

//! Demonstrates the creation and registration of a custom plugin.
//!
//! Plugins are the foundation of Bevy. They are scoped sets of components, resources, and systems
//! that provide a specific piece of functionality (generally the smaller the scope, the better).
//! This example illustrates how to create a simple plugin that prints out a message.
