Entitas CSharp
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.
Features
- Entity Component Systems - Provides a full Entity Component System framework for managing game state with high-performance data-oriented design.
- Game Development - Designed for building high-performance games in Unity using a data-oriented architecture.
- Data-Oriented Design Libraries - Implements a data-oriented programming library that separates state from logic for maximum performance.
- Data-Oriented Component Storage - Stores component data in flat arrays to ensure cache-friendly memory access and high performance during iteration.
- State Inspection Interfaces - Exposes the internal entity database to a real-time editor interface for debugging application state.
- Boilerplate Generators - Automatically generates type-safe boilerplate classes and methods at build time to eliminate repetitive manual coding.
- Bitmask Filtering - Implements efficient entity identification using integer bitmasks to quickly find entities with specific component sets.
- State Inspectors - Ships a visual inspector for real-time examination of entities and components within the Unity editor.
- State Debugging Tools - Allows real-time visual inspection of entities and components to identify and fix bugs in the running game.
- Code Generators - Includes a code generator that produces type-safe boilerplate to ensure consistency and reduce errors.
- Reactive System Triggering - Automatically executes logic systems when specific component values change or entities are added to groups.
- Design Patterns and Frameworks - Provides an entity component system framework.
- Programming Languages - Supports the entity component system framework for C#.
