This package is aimed as a basic behind-the-black-box implementation of the two popular notions of Scenegraphs and ECS using pure 'software design patterns'. Most modern game engines are based in either scenegraphs or some version of ECS but not in their purest form. pyECSS is an attempt to show to the interested learner a clean and simple implementation of each of them, that can be used seaprately or combined for any types of applications build on top of them: from deep learning for CG till VR systems and scientific visualization.
This is part of a complete re-write in python of the glGA framework using a modern Entity - Components - Systems in a Scenegraph approach which resulted in pyECSS.
The following software design patterns are employed:
- Composite, Iterator Patterns: Entity, Component, ComponentIterator
- Visitor Pattern: System
- Facade Pattern, Factory Method: ECSSManager
- Singleton Pattern: ECSSManager
- Observer, Mediator: EventManager
