  That solution is more burdensome than OOP
  • Epskampie 8y ago
    Diagree. Unity works like this, and it’s great for attaching multiple behaviours to an object (i.e. a Player can be Hit, but an Enemy as well). It saves you having to make up a inheritence hierarchy that never seems to work out (Player extends Hittable or something? But it also needa these 10 other behaviours...)

    Not at all. It also has excellent visibility, extensibility, and debugabillity.

  but... all ECS systems use classes or equivalent at some point
  • coldtea 8y ago
    If the classes are shallow that's fine. The problem is using classes to model the whole behavior, not using them to hold some values together.
