Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Unity's Self-Combustion Engine
I wonder if Godex[0] could be a fit for you. ECS based Godot, based on 3.x which has much more broad WebGL support.

How to implement ECS based physics
There is usually a few steps how to deal with performance issues before reaching the conclusion "I need ECS", but if you need it then try https://github.com/GodotECS/godex

Unity style coding in Godot
You might want to check out Godex. It is a Godot extension that introduces an entity/component system. It is not mature yet, but it is under development and seems promising. https://github.com/GodotECS/godex
- Hopefully with all the Unity refugees joining us this becomes way less of an issue

People coming from Unity/Other engines, what do you miss the most?
However, the great thing about godot, is if you want a feature, like ECS, for example just add it yourself.
-
Coming from Unity? What can we do to help? What do you need?
You can try the fork called Godex, it has ECS built into it and is a lot of fun to use in my opinion.

C# games in Godot, 2022 edition
There is an ECS port for Godot named Godex, but it isn't hugely mature:
https://github.com/GodotECS/godex
I haven't used it, though I've been curious about it. As far as better options for ECS game engines go, I'd go with Bevy (personally), but you'll have to learn Rust (which I'm a proponent of anyway).
https://bevyengine.org/learn/book/introduction/
But both of these are still in "Beta", if that's even the proper term for their development cycle, at this point. They work, technically, but they could use some help, to my understanding.

Using Jolt with flecs & Dear ImGui: Game Physics Introspection
EnTT is a popular alternative to flecs for C++, which has different performance/memory characteristics.

Focus: A simple and fast text editor written in Jai
https://pastebin.com/VPypiitk This is a very small experiment i did to learn the metaprogramming features. its an ECS library using the same model as entt (https://github.com/skypjack/entt). In 200 lines or so it does the equivalent of a few thousand lines of template heavy Cpp while compiling instantly and generating good debug code.
Some walkthrough:
Line 8 declares a SparseSet type as a fairly typical template. its just a struct with arrays of type T inside. Next lines implement getters/setters for this data structure
Line 46 Base_Registry things get interesting. This is a struct that holds a bunch of SparseSet of different types, and providers getters/setters for them by type. It uses code generation to do this. The initial #insert at the start of the class injects codegen that creates structure members from the type list the struct gets on its declaration. Note also how type-lists are a native structure in the lang, no need for variadics.
Line 99 i decide to do variadic style tail templates anyway for fun. I implement a function that takes a typelist and returns the tail, and the struct is created through recursion as one would do in cpp. Getters and setters for the View struct are also implemented through recursion
Line 143 has the for expansion. This is how you overload the for loop functionality to create custom iterators.
The rest of the code is just some basic test code that runs the thing.

Introducing Ecsact
Since we wanted a common game simulation that would be on both the server and the client we looked into a few libraries that would fit our ECS needs. It was decided we were going to write this common part of our game in C++, but rust was considered. C++ was a familiar language for us so naturally EnTT and flecs came up right away. I had used EnTT before, writing some small demo projects, so our choice was made based on familiarity. In order to integrate with Unity we created a small C interface to communicate between our simulation code and Unity’s C#. Here’s close to what it looked like. I removed some parts for brevity sake.

Sharing Saturday #472
Are you sure you don't want to use a C++ package manager? Libtcod is on Vcpkg and with that setup you could add the fmt library or EnTT. fmt fixes C++'s string handling and EnTT fixes everything wrong with the entities of the previous tutorials.
- Where can I find the juiciest, most complex and modern c++ code?

What are the limits of blueprints?
There's also a performance question. While we can now use Blueprint nativization to convert Blueprints to C++ the result will be a fairly naive version, fast enough for most purposes but not if you're trying to push every bit of performance. This is where you're looking at making sure you're hitting things such as using the CPU cache as well as possible for an ECS system (Look at ENTT or Flecs if you want to see what they're about and why you'd want one), or a system needing to process massive amounts of data quickly such as the Voxel Plugin.

any resources for expanding on ECS?
For a modern engine you’re probably best looking at Unity’s DOTS. You may also want to check out some of the different open source ECS libraries such as flecs and EnTT are two popular ones for C++, but there’s lots of them. Largely you’ll see lots of different approaches taken, all with their own pros and cons. Not all of them will be performant (some focus more on the design benefits) while others will be optimised for certain use cases. What you should prioritise will depend on your specific needs.
