Question 1

How does Miniplex compare to ECSY or bitECS?

Accepted Answer

Miniplex prioritizes a developer-friendly API and performance for real-time apps, while ECSY focuses on flexibility and bitECS on raw speed; choose based on your balance of ease-of-use and optimization needs.

Question 2

Can Miniplex be used with React for game UIs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Miniplex can integrate with React by syncing entity states via queries, but you'll need to write custom hooks or wrappers to bridge the ECS data flow with React's component lifecycle.

Question 3

What are the performance benchmarks for Miniplex with 10,000 entities?

Accepted Answer

Miniplex is designed for performance-critical apps, but specific benchmarks aren't provided in the README; you should test with your use case, as performance depends on query complexity and system updates.

Question 4

How to implement a basic game loop with Miniplex?

Accepted Answer

Set up systems that execute on each frame using Miniplex's world and query APIs to update entities based on their components, similar to other ECS libraries but with its intuitive syntax.

Question 5

Does Miniplex support saving and loading game states?

Accepted Answer

Miniplex provides tools for serializing entities and components, but you may need to implement custom logic for complex data types or versioning, as it's not a built-in feature.

Question 6

Is Miniplex good for 2D games or only 3D?

Accepted Answer

Miniplex is graphics-agnostic and works for both 2D and 3D games, since it handles entity management independently of rendering; pair it with libraries like PixiJS or Three.js for visuals.
