Os 12 Melhores Entity Component System para C++

The Entity Component System (ECS) is a widely used pattern in game development and modular applications, separating data (components) from behaviors (systems) and entities (IDs). The ECS structure consists of entities, components, and systems, where entities are IDs, components are pure data, and systems are logic that acts on entities with certain components. The ECS pattern offers several advantages, including performance, flexibility, scalability, and organization. A simple example of ECS usage is a system that updates the position of entities based on their velocity. ECS is commonly used in physical simulations, particle systems, and entity-based AI. There are many ECS libraries available in C++, each with its pros and cons, and the choice of which one to use depends on the project's requirements and the developer's experience. Some popular ECS libraries include ecs.hpp, ecst, EntityFu, and entt. When choosing an ECS library, consider factors such as performance, simplicity, multithreading, and the need for a complete game engine. All the listed ECS libraries are open-source and available on GitHub for exploration and contribution.
