If you don't have a good collections library, you're likely to miss out on one area where some of the performance benefits come from. Take a look at my java example here for more on the concept of ECS | |

| Jun 6, 2019 at 13:05 | comment | added | Vaillancourt♦ | I'll add this: someone once said "make games, not engines". Remember that the ECS pattern is just a tool. If you get a hammer made of gold and diamonds, it's going to be the shiniest hammer ever, but will be worth crap to drive nails. Deciding to go for an engine and an ECS while you don't know in what context it will be used will have a risk of you writing code that serves no purpose. You might want to focus on an end rather than a means. | |

rephrased the question to better fit Stack Exchange's guidelines

| Jun 4, 2019 at 17:56 | comment | added | Narice | Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'm not quite accustomed to the Stack Exchange policies yet. I just searched for possible ECS libraries for C. It is quite true that I should have tried out maybe implementing at least something but feel completely clueless on how to do so. I'll rephrase my question as you suggested! | |
| Jun 4, 2019 at 17:47 | comment | added | Vaillancourt♦ | Hello and welcome to Game Development! Generally, yes/no questions are not a great fit for our site. They can usually be reworded to something like "how would I do an ECS in c?", but in the current case, that's a bit broad. Have you tried anything and have you gotten stuck with anything? | |
