ECSx - an Entity-Component-System framework for Elixir

ECSx

ECSx is a framework for using Entity Component System architecture to build real-time games and simulations. It is currently 100% Elixir, using :ets for managing Components, and GenServer for managing Systems under-the-hood.

Features

How to Get Started

All you need to a functional game up and running:

  • Install :ecsx into an existing Elixir app
  • Run mix ecsx setup
  • Run mix ecsx.gen.component to define the various attributes which game entities may have
  • Run mix ecsx.gen.system to define the logical systems which update the game state over time
  • Write system logic using pure Elixir and a simple ECSx interface; e.g. HitPoints.get(entity)
  • Develop your frontend using any technology you like (including LiveView)

To get you started quickly, there is a tutorial which walks you through each of the above steps, to create a game with a LiveView frontend, where you move around a battleship which automatically attacks any pirate ships which get within range
