secs is an ECS for people who want something with the bare minimum. No complex features, no unnecessary abstractions — just the essentials, no strings attached (but you could do that)
If you’re tired of ECS libraries that make you feel like you’re writing a thesis on systems design, secs is here to give you what you need and nothing more
You could use something like hecs, specs or bevy for your ECS needs, but why chase frills when you could have uncomplicated secs? It's simple, lightweight and may (or may not) get the job done. No promises. If you need more, you can always try something else
secs — without the fluff
- Entity Management: Entities are ID's, right?
- Component Storage: Components are stored in sparse sets — sounds fancy but archetypes were too much work
- Multiple Mutable Queries: You can mutate many components, probably..
- Scheduling: secs has a minimal scheduler that stays out of your way. Need more control? Run systems manually.
- Resources: Resources can easily be passed around to any (scheduled) system
Get secs
cargo add secsExample: How it’s probably supposed to work
use secs::World;
let mut world = World::default();
world.spawn((Component1 { /* your data */ }, Component2));
world.query(|entity, c1: &Component1, c2: &mut Component2| {
// maybe get mixed mutability components
