flecs

48 5,496 9.7 C

A fast entity component system (ECS) for C & C++

Project mention: ECS, Finally | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-30

I've also been enjoying building My First Game™ in Bevy using ECS. The community around Bevy really shines, but Flecs (https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs) is arguably a more mature, open-source ECS implementation. You don't get to write in Rust, though, which makes it less cool in my book :)
I'm not very proud of the code I've written because I've found writing a game to be much more confusing than building websites + backends, but, as the author notes, it certainly feels more elegant than OOP or globals given the context.
I'm building for WASM and Bevy's parallelism isn't supported in that context (yet? https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4078), so the performance wins are just so-so. Sharing a thread with UI rendering suuucks.

Project mention: Winduino: The beginnings of an Arduino emulator layer for PC | /r/esp32 | 2023-09-19

This should work with LVGL but I haven't tried it. It does work with https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix and https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx and the example project uses that.
