Entity Component System

Entity system written from scratch. Code mostly based on this article by David Colson.

However, there are two key design changes:

1. Scene scales automatically with the addition of new entities.
2. Component pools don't allocate memory for components that don't exist. David Colson himself recognizes this as a potential problem at the end of his article and discusses potential ways to solve it.

Building

The project uses CMake, so the build process is straightforward.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Z0RIK/ecs

Create and enter build directory

cd ecs
mkdir build
cd build

Build project with Cnake

cmake -S ..
cmake --build .

Example

The example project is a very basic implementation of a particle system.

If you want to play around with the example, I recommend building the project with --config=Release to improve performance.
