I made a semi-cache coherent container which provides an Entity-Component-System. These are the bones of contemporary game-engines. This post is a bit crude; I keep thinking about it then adding features to Whippet instead of writing this up. Whippet on GitHub Google built CORGI which isn’t (yet?) trying to act cache coherent. It also is more than trivial to build, and suffers from NIH for me. Actually; that last bit isn’t likely to be a problem for most, but I didn’t like their license.

I made a semi-cache coherent container which provides an Entity-Component-System. These are the bones of modern game-engines. This post is largely a gooey weasel opinion piece. It started as an introduction that grew out of control. So, for now, it’s just a bit of rambling while I clean-up the documentation for my tool. Of Entity-Component-Systems Among other things, Jason Gregory’s book Game Engine Architecture discusses the concept of a data-driven architecture for game software.
