Recently I discovered something called data-oriented design and I thought it was such a brilliant concept. Here are other references I recommend:
- A book available online freely https://www.dataorienteddesign.com/dodbook/
- I think this is the first blog post about the concept https://gamesfromwithin.com/data-oriented-design
- Data-Oriented Design and C++ - A talk by Mike Acton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc
You make your own game engine?
Yeah, I came across the concept of ECS while I was trying out a game engine called Bevy. It was interesting but like many framework made using Rust, it has too many abstraction or macros. It’s not always a bad thing & I totally get why it’s like that, but I want something more lower level for learning purpose.
So I searched around for more low-level stuff and found this talk by Andrew Kelley. Also I’m currently trying to create some city-sim game using Raylib and Zig, and I plan to try to apply to the game I’m making. It’s my first time trying to properly make a game so it’s gonna take a while lol
If what you want is low level, I recommend wgpu. And you can go even lower level of you go for wgpu-core instead.
However, when you go this low level, making a game is not the objective, since it would be incredibly tedious compared to using an actual game engine. I had a lot of fun doing small things with wgpu though. Learned a lot too.
I also first encountered it through Bevy, but I did it in a less obtuse, less macro-heavy way in mine, as well as using D instead of Rust (D IMHO is better for gamedev stuff, due to not being as much functional programming-first as Rust). Please note that mine does not have much 3D capabilities as of yet, as my game engine is 2D first with some optional 3D later being added.
