ECS

Caution

If you don’t yet know what an ECS is, you should figure that out first (hint: it stands for Entity Component System, try putting that into a search engine) before reading the rest of this page. I promise you will be very confused otherwise.

Despite not using bevy for this project (way overkill), I have opted to use bevy_ecs. It is the most elegant and intuitive ECS I have worked with so far (I’m looking at you, specs). The vast majority of the game and underlying engine operates within it, with the exception of the mainloop handler (which actually triggers the systems), and the inital intro screens.

Unfortunatly, at macroquad’s insistence (aka quite possibly the longest error message I have ever seen), I cannot take advantage of it’s multithreading abilites (yet). Rust still scares me with how fast it is, so it should not be too bad so long as I don’t implement anything too stupid.
