Minimalistic entity-component system with support for multi-threaded execution of systems.

Most other ECS implementations I found seemed to be quite overkill for what I actually needed. Moreover, many of them had APIs that I didn't find very intuitive. For that reason, I decided to create my own ECS that is minimal and simple to understand.

Before you can build, you need to make sure you have CMake 3.12 or newer. In addition, you need to use a C++17 compliant compiler or newer – most modern compilers should already have that sorted for you.

You can clone and build the project by executing the following:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/marvrez/ecs.git
cd ecs
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . -j4

The tests can be executed by running:

./bin/ecs-tests

You can omit building the tests by passing -DENABLE_TESTING=OFF to cmake.
