hecs 0.11.0

A fast, minimal, and ergonomic entity-component-system library
Documentation
//! This example demonstrates using the [ColumnBatch][hecs::ColumnBatch] API to efficiently clone
//! the entities in a [World] along with some or all components.
//!
//! Note that the cloned world may have different iteration order and/or newly created entity ids
//! may diverge between the original and newly created worlds. If that is a dealbreaker for you,
//! see https://github.com/Ralith/hecs/issues/332 for some pointers on preserving entity allocator
//! state; as of time of writing, you'll need to patch `hecs`.
