Entity-Component System Design Patterns - Definitive Reference for Developers and Engineers

Richard Johnson.

Maison d'édition: HiTeX Press

Synopsis

"Entity-Component System Design Patterns"Entity-Component System Design Patterns presents a comprehensive and rigorous exploration of the ECS architectural paradigm, serving as an authoritative resource for both practitioners and researchers in software and game engineering. The book begins by establishing a strong theoretical foundation, tracing the evolution of ECS from its origins and contrasting its principles with those of object-oriented and functional programming. Readers are guided through essential ECS concepts—including entities, components, and systems—while formalizing design goals such as decoupling, data locality, and composition over inheritance. The taxonomy of ECS patterns is surveyed in detail, highlighting key storage models and the data-oriented nature that makes ECS uniquely suited to modern computing hardware.Delving into real-world implementation strategies, the book covers granular topics such as component modeling, storage optimizations, and lifecycle management on a massive scale. Best practices for serialization, schema evolution, and runtime type safety are addressed, alongside advanced querying, filtering, and entity identification techniques. Special attention is given to system design, including robust scheduling, parallel execution, dependency management, and live patching. Architectural optimization is treated rigorously—with chapters devoted to lock-free structures, SIMD and batched processing, and platform-specific tuning for environments ranging from GPUs to distributed cloud systems.Enriched with in-depth case studies, the book illuminates how ECS underpins cutting-edge applications across game engines, robotics, AI, and enterprise platforms. Readers will find expert guidance on ECS scaling, distributed patterns, fault tolerance, and cross-boundary synchronization—complemented by coverage of crucial maintainability aspects such as automated testing, debugging, editor tooling, and codebase evolution. Anchored by both foundational principles and future-facing research directions, Entity-Component System Design Patterns is an indispensable guide for designing, optimizing, and extending ECS-based architectures in demanding computational domains.

Splinters of Infinity - Cosmic...

Mark Wolverton

Set in a revolutionary era of physics and science when a series of rapid-fire discoveries was upending our understanding of the universe, Splinters of Infinity by Mark Wolverton tells a little-known story: the tale of two of America's foremost physicists, Robert Millikan (1868–1953) and Arthur Compton (1892–1962), who found themselves locked in an intense, often deeply personal, conflict about cosmic rays. Confirmed in 1912, cosmic rays—enigmatic forms of penetrating radiation—seemed to raise all new questions about the origins of the universe, but they also offered the potential to explain everything—or reveal the existence of God. 
 
 
 
In engaging, accessible prose, Wolverton takes the listener through the twists and turns of the Millikan-Compton debate, one of the first major public examples of how heated the controversies among scientists could become—and the lengths that scientists would go to settle their disputes. Along the way, Wolverton probes the forever elusive question, still unanswered today, about where cosmic rays come from and what they reveal about black holes, distant galaxies, the existence of dark matter and dark energy, and the birth of the universe, concluding that these splinters of infinity may not hold the keys to the secret of creation but do bring us ever closer to it.

The Milky Way Smells of Rum and...

Jillian Scudder

An offbeat guided tour of the Universe, focusing on weird and wonderful facts.

Astrophysicist Dr Jillian Scudder knows more than most of us what a surreal place the Universe can be. In this light-hearted book she delves into some of the more arcane facts that her work has revealed, and tells us how we have actually managed to discover these amazing truths.

Did you know: the galaxy is flatter than a sheet of paper; supermassive black holes can sing a super-low B flat; it rains iron on a brown dwarf, and diamonds on Neptune; you could grow turnips on Mars if its soil weren't full of rocket fuel; the Universe is beige, on average; Jupiter's magnetic field will short-circuit your spacecraft - and, of course, the Milky Way smells of rum and raspberries.

English Historic Carpentry

Cecil A. Hewett

A true magnum opus, Cecil A. Hewett's English Historic Carpentry appeals to every type of architectural historian, from the connoisseur of cathedrals to the vernacular 'barn and cottage' enthusiast. It also offers practical insight into the structure and age of the old homes and outbuildings of Britain, and will reveal that much timber-work is appreciably older than their owners might think. This book will be a source of pride and inspiration to all who work in timber today, showing that the master carpenters of the past achieved their highest levels of craftsmanship well before the master masons, and that they were their equals as medieval architects.
Beginning as a young upstart with wild theories, Hewett grew to become the accepted authority on all matters of historic carpentry and a pioneer of a whole new technology in the dating of ancient buildings. In English Historic Carpentry, he provides the definite statement of his work, superbly illustrated by his own drawings. As Hewett maintained, 'the building is the document' and this book will teach you how to read the evidence that is written in wood.
