Gestalt Entity System

gestalt-entity-system is an implementation of an Entity System - an approach for handling objects as a composition of components that determine the object's behaviours.

Major features include:

• Core framework for creating and managing entities.
• Copy based approach to storing and retrieving components protects from misuse and accidental sharing of components between entities.
• Optimised entity iteration.
• Event system for generically interacting with entities - send events against entities and register receivers based on the components they react to).
• Lifecycle events for reacting to changes to an entity.
• Partial thread-safety (intended for read-write on a main thread, and read off-thread).
• Prefab assets for defining recipes for entities or groups of entities that can be instantiated.
