Introduction to Entity Component System (ECS) in Game Programming - Lecture 5
Offered By: Dave Churchill via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive lecture on game programming that delves into Entity Component System (ECS) architecture and its comparison with Object-Oriented Design. Learn about game engine architecture, components, entities, and how they are stored and managed. Discover additional entity variables, the use of std::tuple, and essential entity functions. Gain insights into component implementation and see practical examples of entity usage code. Understand systems and how to filter entities by components. Conclude with an overview of the Vec2 class and engage in live coding to reinforce your understanding of vector mathematics in game development.
