Get Started

It is recommended that you clone the repository and navigate the documentation in your favourite editor.

This repository includes a few subfolders that can help you get started with jecs:

  • how_to: This is a step-by-step introduction to how this ECS works and the reasoning behind its design.

  • modules: These are regularly used modules and should be mostly working, but some might not be. You can look in this folder to see some code that you might use to help you hit the ground running quickly.

  • examples: These are larger programs that showcase real use cases and can help you understand how everything fits together.

Benchmarks

21,000 entities 125 archetypes 4 random components queried. Queries Can be found under /test/benches/visual/query.luau

Inserting 8 components to an entity and updating them over 50 times. Insertions Can be found under /test/benches/visual/insertions.luau
