ECS Documentation
First of all, I might have put the cart before the horse with this one - sorry for that!
I am interested in the ECS powering Stride, but I was unable to find some good documentation about how it works.
Most helpful was actually a forum post from 2018, but that also only discussed part of it.
So after hopping on discord and having a nice chat with some folks, I ended up with the impression "documentation about it is not great at the moment, so anything I find until I get it to work, I can just write down and it will be an improvement".
So I did that, wrote two markdown documents about it.
Then I read the contribution guidelines and the whole process.
So, again, sorry for not following the process there - but hey! Maybe you still want it, because we don't have docs about it yet. I'm gonna create a PR and link it here immediately after finishing writing this.
Notes
A) What added to my impression is a currently existing page about the subject has some outdated code - EntityManager.Entities does not exist in 4.1.0.1898.
B) I added two pages. While one is just a technical description of what there is , the other one is a write-up about ECS in general, explaining the concept aimed at an audience that doesn't know i yet.
C) I also added a quick diagram to make the decision easier for inexperienced users. I just used diagrams.net, didn't know if there's another standard for these or something.
This is an amazing addition! Entity processors were such a struggle without docs I was trying out Svelto but Ill give this another shot with this info.
Here is the result of your new docs :) https://discord.com/channels/500285081265635328/709051146160963655/1154137116775813231 This is something that I will explore further from now on.
