What is ecstasy?

A tiny entity framework written in C++11. It is a port of Ashley from LibGDX. ecstasy is a high-performance entity framework without the use of black-magic and thus making the API easy and transparent to use.

About this wiki

Throughout this wiki, I will cover the entirety of ecstasy, the fundamentals of Entity Systems and how to design games following this approach.

This is a manual, for a comprehensive API reference, check the official doxygen documentation.

Technical considerations

ecstasy uses a couple of C++11 features, which means you will need a compiler that supports at least C++11.

Thanks to its Apache 2.0 license, users have the freedom to use it, modify it and redistribute as they please. Commercial purposes are perfectly allowed.

I ported all of the unit tests from Ashley and added a couple of new ones to ensure good Quality.
