The Five Demons of Python Packaging That Fuel Our Persistent Nightmare: https://youtu.be/qA7NVwmx3gw?si=QbchrYvCEp8aazvL

There are few HoMM projects on GitHUB. For example: https://github.com/ihhub/fheroes2

Here is the another interesting discussion about `Game Oriented Assembly Lisp` https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2090554

Check this out. https://github.com/skypjack/entt

EnTT is a header-only, tiny and easy to use library for game programming and much more written in modern C++. Among others, it's used in Minecraft by Mojang, the ArcGIS Runtime SDKs by Esri and the amazing Ragdoll.

Tiny? In what world is this tiny?

entt.hpp:

#include "config/version.h" #include "core/algorithm.hpp" #include "core/any.hpp" #include "core/attribute.h" #include "core/family.hpp" #include "core/hashed_string.hpp" #include "core/ident.hpp" #include "core/monostate.hpp" #include "core/type_info.hpp" #include "core/type_traits.hpp" #include "core/utility.hpp" #include "entity/component.hpp" #include "entity/entity.hpp" #include "entity/group.hpp" #include "entity/handle.hpp" #include "entity/helper.hpp" #include "entity/observer.hpp" #include "entity/organizer.hpp" #include "entity/poly_storage.hpp" #include "entity/registry.hpp" #include "entity/runtime_view.hpp" #include "entity/snapshot.hpp" #include "entity/sparse_set.hpp" #include "entity/storage.hpp" #include "entity/utility.hpp" #include "entity/view.hpp" #include "locator/locator.hpp" #include "meta/adl_pointer.hpp" #include "meta/container.hpp" #include "meta/ctx.hpp" #include "meta/factory.hpp" #include "meta/meta.hpp" #include "meta/node.hpp" #include "meta/pointer.hpp" #include "meta/policy.hpp" #include "meta/range.hpp" #include "meta/resolve.hpp" #include "meta/template.hpp" #include "meta/type_traits.hpp" #include "meta/utility.hpp" #include "platform/android-ndk-r17.hpp" #include "poly/poly.hpp" #include "process/process.hpp" #include "process/scheduler.hpp" #include "resource/cache.hpp" #include "resource/handle.hpp" #include "resource/loader.hpp" #include "signal/delegate.hpp" #include "signal/dispatcher.hpp" #include "signal/emitter.hpp" #include "signal/sigh.hpp"

Since it's a header-only library, with a lot of templates, only the used code will be compiled.

So yes, this is tiny. Tinier than Unity, CryEngine, Unreal Engine, or other huge frameworks of that kind.

A comparison to those engines is a bit much isn’t it? It’s not like it provides comparable features.

IIRC, all those engines provide an ECS that could be compared to entt.

Also, there is Hazel[0] which is based on entt and is the subject of an amazing youtube series[1].

IMHO, tinier means less features, at that point what could be considered comparable?

To be comparable in size we should look at what they do. The three game engines originally mentioned have everything from physics to an entire visual IDE. A comparable smaller project is Godot not entt.

A comparable ECS implementation is what you’re after. Is entt tiny in comparison to similar projects.

As elsewhere, making a non-trivial battery ain't so simple.
