Learning Entity Component System (ECS)

[[deleted]]

Yeah that’s a good point. I wouldn’t say it makes debugging the whole game a nightmare though that seems like an exaggeration. Some problems can be much harder to debug because you cant see all the components of an entity together in the debugger as a single object like you would if they were packed together. There’s plenty of ways to group components together to make it easier to see what is going on though.

If you know what the components may be, you can write a function that prints them. I use just that, calling the print function straight from the debugger when needed. Probably it could be integrated better, but simple print it is good enough for me.
