Maximum number of components allowed?

[Aedalus]

Really liking the library so far, but had one question. Looking at the implementation, it seems like every component gets an auto-incrementing ID, which is used to shift bits to create a component bit mask. Am I right in thinking that if a bigint max value is roughly 2^53, geotic allows for a maximum of 53 component types that can be registered? This still seems like a good amount for most projects, but wanted to see if there was a suggested workaround for adding more.

Thanks!

Hi @Aedalus, I believe using BigInt has different bitwise limitations than int. I remember thinking about this during implementation, and I believe I tested it in chrome (this was some time ago).

Regardless, it might be smart to use a different library dedicated to bitwise operations, see #51

All bitwise operations are encapsulated in one file, which should make it easy to replace
