Nano-ECS

A bare-bones macro-based Entity-Component-System

• Maximum 64 components per entity
• Stores components sequentially in same array
• Masks for enabled/disabled components

use nano_ecs::*;

#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct Position(pub f32);
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct Velocity(pub f32);

ecs!{4: Position, Velocity}

fn main() {
    let mut world = World::new();
    world.push(Position(0.0));
    world.push((Position(0.0), Velocity(0.0)));
    let dt = 1.0;
    system!(world, |pos: &mut Position, vel: &Velocity| {
        pos.0 = pos.0 + vel.0 * dt;
    });
}

Design

The ecs! macro generates a World and Component object.

Can be used with any Rust data structure that implements Clone.

The order of declared components is used to assign every component an index. This index is used in the mask per entity and to handle slice memory correctly.

• All components are stored in one array inside World.
• All entities have a slice refering to components
• All entities have a mask that enable/disable components

Macros

ecs	Creates an Entity-Component-System.
entity	Accesses a single entity.
entity_ids	Enumerates indices of entities only.
ind	Generates Ind impl for Component.
mask_pat	Generates mask pattern based on a set of components.
push	Generates Push impl for World.
push_impl	Calls push macro with smaller arguments.
system	Declares and executes a system.
tup_count	Helper macro for counting size of a tuple.

Traits

Get	Gets a component type T from a raw pointer of Component.
Ind	The index of a component type T from Component.
Push	Creates a new entity from a set of components.
