Frent

NuGet NuGet GitHub commit activity (branch)

A high preformance archetyped based ECF/ECS library for C#.

Whaaaat?! Isn't there enough ECS libraries out there!

While Frent's implementation is an archetype based ECS, thats not why Frent was made. Frent is primarily an ECF - Entity Component Framework - that allows you to easily use composition for code reuse rather than inheritance with minimal boilerplate. Think Unity's Monobehavior powered by the principles and speed of an ECS, as well as less boilerplate.

Frent is still in beta and is not completely stable.

Quick Example

using Frent;
using Frent.Components;
using System.Numerics;

using World world = new World();
Entity entity = world.Create<Position, Velocity>(new(Vector2.Zero), new(Vector2.One));

//Call Update to run the update functions of your components
world.Update();

// Position is <2,2>
Console.WriteLine(entity.Get<Position>().Value);

record struct Position(Vector2 Value);
record struct Velocity(Vector2 Delta) : IComponent<Position>
{
    public void Update(ref Position position) => position.Value += Delta;
}
