## Description

Entitas-CSharp is a data-oriented architectural framework for managing application state and logic in C# and Unity environments. It implements the Entity Component System pattern to separate raw data components from the logic systems that process them.

The framework includes a code generator that automatically produces type-safe boilerplate classes and methods at build time. It also provides a visual state inspector for examining entities and components in real time within the Unity editor.

The library covers data-oriented programming and game state debugging, utilizing a memory-efficient approach to organize application data and logic.
