# Similar projects

|
|
|
There are many projects similar to `EnTT`, both open source and not.<br/>
|
|
Some even borrowed some ideas from this library and expressed them in different
|
|
languages.<br/>
|
|
Others developed different architectures from scratch and therefore offer
|
|
alternative solutions with their pros and cons.
|
|
|
|
Below an incomplete list of those that I've come across so far.<br/>
|
|
If some terms or designs aren't clear, I recommend referring to the
|
|
[_ECS Back and Forth_](https://skypjack.github.io/tags/#ecs) series for all the
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
I hope this list can grow much more in the future:
|
|
|
|
* C:
|
|
* [Diana](https://github.com/discoloda/Diana): an ECS that uses sparse sets to
|
|
keep track of entities in systems.
|
|
* [Flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs): a multithreaded archetype
|
|
ECS based on semi-contiguous arrays rather than chunks.
|
|
* [lent](https://github.com/nem0/lent): the Donald Trump of the ECS libraries.
|
|
|
|
* C++:
|
|
* [decs](https://github.com/vblanco20-1/decs): a chunk based archetype ECS.
|
|
* [ecst](https://github.com/SuperV1234/ecst): a multithreaded compile-time
|
|
ECS that uses sparse sets to keep track of entities in systems.
|
|
* [EntityX](https://github.com/alecthomas/entityx): a bitset based ECS that
|
|
uses a single large matrix of components indexed with entities.
|
|
|
|
* Javascript:
|
|
* [ecsy](https://github.com/MozillaReality/ecsy): I haven't had the time to
|
|
investigate the underlying design of `ecsy` but it looks cool anyway.
|
|
|
|
* Rust:
|
|
* [Legion](https://github.com/TomGillen/legion): a chunk based archetype ECS.
|
|
* [Shipyard](https://github.com/leudz/shipyard): it borrows some ideas from
|
|
`EnTT` and offers a sparse-sets based ECS with grouping functionalities.
|
|
* [Specs](https://github.com/amethyst/specs): a parallel ECS based mainly on
|
|
hierarchical bitsets that allows different types of storage as needed.
