Introduction My Xmas gift to the Svelto Community this year was the complete rewrite of the Survival Svelto.ECS MiniExample. This example is used as a reference by all newcomers because it’s the simplest to digest for people who are not in the ECS mentality and still think in terms ofRead More →
among many other features, Svelto.ECS 3.3 introduces a new shiny and finally usable filters API. The previous one had the bad habit to get very awkward very fast with the growth of complexity. The new API learns from the previous mistakes and introduces a ton of sweet features. To recapRead More →
Introduction This long-due article will conclude the series on Entity Component System Code Design and will explore the idea of Inversion of Control layers applied to ECS. I design code in terms of layers for quite some time now and, in fact, I have hinted at it several times inRead More →

With the approaching third major release, Svelto.ECS internals have been overhauled to support Burst and native memory (among other features that I will discuss in different articles). The idea to support native memory in a c# framework is counter intuitive, but Burst is such an incredible piece of technology thatRead More →
I had two interesting problems to solve during the development of Svelto.ECS, which in short are: Set an implemented property of a struct, but only when the struct implements a specific interface, from a generic method and without casting the struct to the interface Assign an object to a fieldRead More →
The Unity Package Manager is a good effort from Unity to distribute project dependencies similarly to what NPM does. UPM is still in its infancy and some problems are to be addressed, among them the conflicts arising from common .net dll is the problem that annoys me the most. Currently,Read More →
Being busy on multiple fronts, I recently went AWOL from this blog, but Svelto is keeping up well with the new technologies (read Unity DOTS) and we are actively developing it for our new game Gamecraft. I am also spending my little spare time to develop Svelto 3.0, which willRead More →
