sschmid/Entitas

Features

• Entity Component Systems - Provides a high-performance Entity Component System for organizing game state into contiguous memory blocks.
• Data-Logic Separation - Separates game state into plain data components and logic into systems to optimize CPU cache and memory usage.
• Entity Search & Indexing - Provides high-speed retrieval of entities via specific identifiers to avoid iterating through the entire entity collection.
• C# Source Code Generators - Automatically generates boilerplate classes, entity accessors, and context singletons to reduce manual coding.
• Boilerplate Generators - Automatically produces C# classes and accessors at build time to eliminate manual boilerplate and runtime reflection.
• Bitmask Filtering - Utilizes high-performance bitmask filtering to quickly identify entities with specific component sets for system processing.
• Data-Oriented Design Libraries - Implements a data-oriented design that organizes game data into memory pools for CPU cache optimization.
• Entity Queries - Filters entities based on the presence or absence of specific components to target precise subsets of objects.
• Game Performance Optimizations - Optimizes game engine performance by utilizing reactive tracking to process only modified entities.
• Data Access Optimizations - Implements index-based retrieval to ensure high-speed access to entities without full collection searches.
• Contextual Entity Pools - Divides entities into isolated context-based pools to reduce the memory footprint and scope of logic processing.
• Component Change Tracking - Tracks modifications to specific components to trigger logic only when data changes, avoiding unnecessary per-frame iterations.
• Data-Oriented Component Storage - Implements data-oriented storage by attaching plain data objects to entities to separate state from behavior.
• ECS Libraries - Provides a complete Entity Component System framework that separates game state into components and logic into systems.
• Unity Game Frameworks - Ships as a framework specifically designed to manage complex object interactions and state within Unity.
• Data Class Generators - Automatically generates classes and methods to clarify data-logic interactions and reduce manual coding effort.
• State Visualizations - Offers visual indicators in the editor to debug contexts, entities, and components during execution.
• Unity Editor Extensions - Provides custom Unity editor extensions for real-time monitoring of entities and system performance.
• Game Design Patterns - Implements data-oriented architectural patterns to separate game state from behavior for flexible entity creation.
• ECS Boilerplate Generators - Automatically generates the C# classes and interfaces needed for efficient game entity management.
• Entity Inspectors - Visual entity inspection in the tool displays entities and components in the editor hierarchy for real-time observation and modification.
• Game State Synchronization - Implements real-time synchronization of game entity data across network clients to maintain consistent game states.
• Accessor Generators - Generates simplified interfaces for manipulating entity components based on field configurations to reduce boilerplate.
• Performance Monitoring - Tracks the execution of logic systems to identify and resolve processing bottlenecks.
