Y'know, I'm probably not going to use this, but damn Brackeys you do a fantastic job of learning the material no matter what and putting great content out there for everyone. Just want everyone to appreciate for a moment that this is all free information.
Thank you!!
InstaBlaster
so is it true that coding your own game is easier than you think?
Well, with this online course on Udemy...
Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design I got the add while reading your comment
Why you are hear...
We talk about unity.
am i in the wrong neighborhood? :)
Unreal Environments - Speed Level Design
Yeah...XD
It's time to remake "How many agents can unity handle"
Entities Simulation lmao
With DOTS
Well...
I don't think we gonna get a number ∞
It was just a stress test of his own computer, not what unity can handle
channel has died :(

Thanks so much for this well done and quick explanation! Glad to hear Unity finally sponsores your videos !!! About time : )
I honestly cannot explain how much I needed a video like this, you explained it very clearly and this will help me a tonne
Thanks Brackeys 😀
Its 1:50 a.m. here in Nepal. Its time to sleep but got notification of brackey's upload. And here I am learning something new before bed🙂🙂
Sangam G.C Same here from india
Hello, I m also from Nepal.
@@SujalUprety Good luck for your career 👍
@@sangamg.c9092 thanks. You can checkout my channe for my projects. 😅
Love your tutorials Brackeys! you keep me in the loop :D
Thanks for the video! I was having trouble wrapping my head around ECS, but this is a great summary that's helped a bunch.
I've been playing with Unreal Engine a lot lately, but I have to admit that you're videos are one the main things that reminds me how cool Unity is too. As I get more comfortable with Unreal, I'm definitely getting back into Unity. I'm really hoping that I can find some sort of way to be skilled with both engines effectively.
That soo awsome plus my brother is addicted to your channel and we are making a awsome game .WE LOVE YOU !!!!
Do a devlog, I want to see your game!!
Miss you Brackeys, four years later and I'm still learning from your videos.
Brackeys!! I'm a big fan. I make 60k/yr as a full time Unity Dev now and the ONLY education I have past a high school degree is your videos! Thanks dude!!
It is not necessary to modify the JSON file manually to install ECS anymore. You could open Windows->Package Manager and install it from there directly.
It is there in 2018.1.1f1.
Is the ECS ,is stable for Unity now. I am 1 year unity developer . Currently, I am still learning OOP. So if it is stable. I would start learning and developing with ECS after I finish learning OOP. Thank you.
Any news on when ECS will be fully integrated?
Also
Brackeys, we will need a hard core tutorials on pure ECS once that is integrated. I looked online for tutorials on it and on data oriented design and it's pretty unbelievable that there are no tutorials to speak of.
The only thing I found are two talks given by two dudes on how awesome this way of coding is. And that's it...
So all that fuss about design patterns, singletons, data structures, all of that is useless now (in pure ECS)? Pretty much use only value types, structs and arrays. No more classes no nothing. In a way, it makes things easier.
Sunny Apples ito
I would also like to see a tutorial about pure ECS done buy Brackeys
This right here.
Design Patterns are still very much a thing. Heck, even in this video Brackeys used a non-static flyweight pattern. Pure ECS is no exception, just that the list of things a dev will have to mentally juggle gets shorter and the pipelines get more specialized. It's nice when the framework hides all the grunt work like this, but you still need to have the basics to understand what is happening behind the scenes. Someone mentioned that this functions like MVC, which isnt a bad comparison. You can see the separation of concerns and how it resembles SOA design elements. While my current game won't get this I think I will try on my next prototype to work in this and see how it goes. On paper it's the right direction as monobehavior is a goofy blending of component and OO design that makes service building pretty awkward.
Yeah. I wrote my own ECS engine in Go, and the design patterns you use are still very much still valuable. This isn't as big of a shift as you might think. It's a new way of approaching how data is treated and it separates responsibilities better. So, you might even think about it like reorganization rather than paradigm shifts.
I love your channel, best way to keep aware of new unity options
WOW this is gold. Thank you Master Brackeys and thank you Unity!
Your "More on Pure ECS" link is broken
@@suspicious-mf thank
Now, please do a tutorial on UI with pure ECS! :D
An unity ad before an unity video. Brilliant.
I was having a hard time grasping ECS, but you made it really easy to understand, thanks!
After the video, I was expecting to see how Pure ECS works, but you moved on to shader graph, so please do another video about Pure ECS!
And also how ECS relates to the new Job System and how we can take advantage of both.
Would you consider doing a video on pure ECS in Unity?
I love to see Unity progress
YAY override methods!! I was hoping for this but didn't think it would happen!
Brackeys! Awesome videos as always!
@Brackeys do you plan on a video with pure ECS? Would love to see that :-)
I could appreciate it as well.
also more hybrid ECS highlighting in upcomming tuts so we get more used to it. Your video made ECS more understandable to me but this is a big change..
yes please ecs is the feature
8:32 *link is not in the description*
Amazing video Brackeys!
This seems amazing!
Definitely gonna give it a try.
Does anybody know if there is any literature on ECS yet?
Your channel is the best!
Ooooh more tutorials on this new way of programming with ECS!! Would love to see one for the pure ECS too.
I like this ECS. Reminds me of my OOP projects from college. Time to jump into it!
Except it's pretty much the opposite...
Make a video about Pure ECS!!
I reckon the ECS system will be awesome once I understand it better! But it still kinda sucks that the old way of coding is not as efficient.
The only reason Unity has been so popular is because it's so easy, but the easy tricks are usually the worst performing ones.
Bob Marl That's very true. But unity itself is a complex program with a lot to learn.
It's how Unity should have been from the start, it sucks that the change is so radical it kinda makes you wanna learn a different engine. I think this will be for the best, I personally used a somewhat hybrid entity-based approach on my projects, but I still have Monobehaviours that I don't need on some objects which was very inefficient, and that's the thing, monobehaviours should have been optional since the beginning of Unity, oh well.
I'm honestly so excited! *-*
Super excited!!!
I see people complaining because its hard to understand. I get that. But we had to figure out how to think in object oriented (which isn't going away soon) so ECS is no different. Just a different way to break down logic. I'm no expert but I love optimization so I'm really want to try it out!!!!
7:54 - Time.deltaTime is already a (public static float) variable, so it is already optimized down into a variable and you are not skipping any code by creating your own. Its value should remain the same for the entire frame found within OnUpdate(), so even data preservation does not apply here. The methods that update Time.deltaTime are performed external to accessing it and have already occurred for the frame in question. So, we are good to go with just accessing it directly.
(Correct me if I am wrong! Am I missing a caching issue?)
To be sure we'll have to look at realization of deltaTime. It could be a variable which is updated once per frame or it could have a getter which pulls the value every time you access it. If it's the first case then you are obviously correct.
By the way, for example in Lua it would be extra overhead because you'd have to index Time table and it would be better to localize it outside the loop scope.
@@creative0ne Why not test it yourself to see if your 2nd case is actually what's occurring or not? It's easy enough to determine.
for people visiting in 2020.. use this as a replacement for GetEntities
protected override void OnUpdate()
{
Entities.WithAll().ForEach((Entity entity, RotationBehaviour rotationBehaviour, Transform transform) =>
{
transform.Rotate(0f, rotationBehaviour.speed * Time.deltaTime, 0f);
});
}
Does not work for me (running on Unity 2019.4.2f1) :( thanks anyway
yep this changed version compiles, but cubes don't rotate anyway
Thank you for taking the time to make the tutorial.
Please make a tutorial about Pure ECS too! Looking through Unity-docs is great and all, but they miss that hook, that starting point, that you provide!
I LOVED this, please bring me more ECS!!!
My lack of knowlege on programming make me full lost in this video
i am a programmer and still lost on this.
So from what i understand, its basically just making it more like a functional programming paradigm? you just distinquish the data on each entity and run the same function on it based on the data?
The point of the ECS is to combine it with the new Job system to make it multi threaded, this is where the real performance boost is coming from + the better memory layout (not by storing the delta time in a local variable, like they said in the video, that makes no real difference)
In short - it's a CPU cache optimisation trick.
If you want more info, watch this - ruclips.net/video/tGmnZdY5Y-E/видео.html
I wouldn't call this approach functional style, which usually means immutable data structures, recursion, pattern matching, and stuff like that. This is more like replacing the object oriented paradigm with a more data driven paradigm.
No this is not exactly functional programming, but pretty similar!
When you use unity job system, you could maybe call this similar to functional programming since the structs are immutable. And you do not modify a struct, you create a new one.
Odd to have to manually update a file like that in unity, but it's such a clear difference when thinking of it in game engines without their own Editor. Thanks a lot for the quick start!
Really nice, please consider doing more in-depth stuff on pure ECS as well :)
7:34 *E*
*i hate how i get this*
*L O R D M A R K Q U A A D*
Chris!
Seems like more work than is needed tbh
Kind of. But it definetely feels cleaner.
LunaFr0st seemed so to me first, however, I suppose the purpose is optimization and since all objects seem to use that central script it's less work down the road I guess
I was thinking the same thing, but I'm guessing it's one of those things that scales up really well. The example he used wasn't very performance intensive so it seemed like a lot of overhead for something so simple. Unsure though, gonna have to read up on the docs
The ECS (+ Job system) is not meant to replace the current system, they are meant for "heavy tasks" like runtime random level generation or games where you have thousands of units etc for a let's say first person shooter where you only have a few enemies it won't make much difference and it's not meant to be used for these kind of things
R1PFake
Thanks for clearing this out.
WOW! Excited!
I love your videos! Keep it up!
3:56 elaborate on this please.. you didn't mention how exactly that isn't performant nor how that isn't easy to read/understand XD because to me it makes total sense how it works and is easily read and understood as well.. so I have no clue why you are saying that it isn't when I have no problem with it whatsoever? I make variables (private/protected fields and public properties seperately) and put them in fancy regions when there are multiple of either one (fields/properties) and you can easily make use of it, its always found on the top of the script when you need them and I see no problem at all with them. The only thing about performant that I'm aware of is that I can instead of creating multiple instances of classes, just create one instance that is shared by using structs that contain the data so I don't need a seperate instance to hold all the data for each usage. So basically this ECS system prevents the need to do that by introducing a new layer so to speak, makes this more convenient without the need to create structs and preventing to create multiple instances. I guess that's it then, still trying to learn more about this ECS/DOTS thing, but quite a lot of effort to be able to make use of it at all. I suppose those extra steps like with the package will not be necessary in the future as it will get included by default or is this stuff actually not necessary to be used in all cases, therefore providing it as an package (with such confusing steps to get it.. eh idk what to think about it at this point, but I'll continue watching your video now lol).
Can you make a tutorial about save game and load game?
As this is very game-specific (each game has to store different type of data), i think it would be hard to do so for universal use. Maybe a tutorial about writing and loading data from/to external files using the system.IO namespace would be what you are looking for.
Just use The "PlayerPrefs" static class to save the player's stats and load them when needed , its a class that unity provides to save settings
This is not a very good idea unless you want the user to easily be able to change their save game stats... Playerprefs should be used for what they are named after, prefefrences
I`ve been thinking for a while that this is somewhat missing
Google. There's no point having to rely on these videos to learn unity, go out and learn it yourself. You can't have brackeys hold your hand forever. How do you think he learns these things?
Super cool thank you for the crash course!
very helpful
Awesome! Very nice explanation. Would love a video on Pure ECS
Whoa got 20k cubes rotating
Am I the only one that thought E.C.S was going to be easi-ER lol. I'm sure its awesome performance wise, but it looks like a lot more work than just the traditional way. Will this change the way we utilize class inheritance, and or implementing Interfaces?
In pure ECS you don't use classes or interfaces or any other reference type.
You are only allowed to use value types and array is the only data structure you use.
Loved it. You should also do a pure ECS video, because that's where the real perf gains will be.
Great overview!
Very, very good.
this looks cool, but will it not be more difficult than regular conding? would you do a pratical tutorial?
A bit more difficult - yes.
Especially when you'll get to the parallel execution. And it will optimise CPU cache performance.
But, with this approach we'll be able to operate on theese data object from multiple threads.
If you want more info - watch this, some pretty impressive stuff: ruclips.net/video/tGmnZdY5Y-E/видео.html
it feels more like coding for iOS lol , you'll get used to it

I have just learned object-orianted c# programming......
And keep that! This is just not good enough for big games, and all those people that gonna hate me. Just think about it;
All those years oop worked great, and unity implements a new feature, and you all are hyped....
wow i understand. This will make things so much easier, brilliant job unity !
Thanks man for making this!
Hey, I spent 5 hours on my weekend to translate this video into Russian. It was a week ago. Can your Majesty press the button for approve?
Oh really? Zaebis'
Still not approved lol
Hype is real
xD
Heck yeah
:O
Cool! Can't wait to test this one!
Great explanation on ECS !
so your unity tutorials are obsolete now?
They will be soon enough.
this system makes no difference in regular games, so i don't think they will remove the old system, but when you are generating terrain or controlling thousands of characters moving and attacking each other, ECS would make a *HUGE* diffrence
When the job system and the compiler are fully integrated, why would you want to keep using the old system when you could be safely multi-threading and get way better performance and lower power consumption? Oh it will make a difference. Sure the old system will still be around with mono behavior and all, but it will be outdated. Best to keep with the times imo.
And why is ECS better? I don't understand it or anything lol
think of it as a box, usual method everything in one place, it takes more time to reach and search and update
now think about it when u have 3 boxes and each one is labeled, and you also define exactly what inside each box ( e.g. Rotator and Transform ) so you don't include any redundant files, which obviously would be faster and better
Nice, finally you got sponsored!
I needed this tutorial so bad .. you should do more of these tutorials
From 13 lines of code to 29 lines of code. Bravo Unity Bravo!
This sadly seems to be outdated. GetEntities is no more for starters...
Did you find its replacement?
@@RafaelMirandaa docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.entities@0.0/manual/entity_iteration_foreach.html
Blizzard actually uses this way of programming for Overwatch. They have a very interesting talk about it also which you can find on RUclips. I highly recommend it.
Also, great video! Actually did not expect a design pattern video from you, but I am happily surprised. Keep up the good work!
Wow, that's something I was missing in unity :) This way it looks much more structurized
7:39
Calling GetEntities every update?? :s
Yes, and Unity make this a lot efficient by using the concept they called `ArchetypeChunk`. All qualified entities are stored closely to entities of the same shape of them so they can be grabbed quickly.
I know most of us wanted to make a low poly GTA and ended up with half project 23 times and more. Still, Thinking one day, We'll make
You explained this in incredible detail that is easy to understand and follow :) In the future, would you consider creating a video tutorial focusing solely on pure ECS?
Very well put, thanks.
Soooo... What happend with 2 uploads a week?
*shhhhh*
What uploads
;)
yeah what uploads , i don't know anything about this ;)
and please don't go to channel description ;)
well give him examples of what videos he should do
A new series maybe
MAMF
Yes "you don't anything"
Read your comment again, AND you will see it's completely ok and not wrong in any way and not changed....at all....
;)
"While data-driven design does prevent coupling of data and functionality, in some cases, data-driven programming has been argued to lead to bad object-oriented design, especially when dealing with more abstract data. This is because a purely data-driven object or entity is defined by the way it is represented. Any attempt to change the structure of the object would immediately break the functions that rely on it." - thnx i'll pass :P
Using data driven code is more rigid and complex, but you have to understand that object oriented code is not natural to the computer. Objects are abstraction to make it easier, but the more abstraction you have between the computer and the programmer, the shittier your game will run. I've been working on a strategy game using data driven design way before Unity even talked about it , this allows me to run 200 000 soldiers at 60 fps on an average machine. If you're just making little phone games as a hobby, then of course, you can ignore data driven entirely. Any serious game out there have been using this type of architecture for a while, it's just Unity has been slow to it because most of its user base are beginners.
"If you're just making little phone games as a hobby" - let me disagree with you. more true would be to say if you're doing ANYTHING (god of war, devil may cry, resident evil type of games) you're better of with OOC and only good use of DDC is when you want to have 200 000 soldiers at 60 fps BUT even then, it's 2018 and PC power is growing so that kinda becomes less revelant. so that said maybe especially "If you're just making little phone games as a hobby" - DDC is better opinion because of resource limit. in general it's still not worth using because of the downsides - upsides are what?! better performance in very specific games that's rarely created?! i can't even think of any game where u'd have or need 200 000 soldiers (mby total war, idk).
The 200 000 soldiers is an example, but that's not the point of it. The point of data driven is to allow your code to be multithreaded properly hence taking advantage of all cores. If there's one platform that needs to take advantage of all cores, it's console games because the hardware is so limited. If anything needs data driven, it's ESPECIALLY games like god of war. God of war wouldn't be possible without data driven. There's a video about how Destiny 2 uses multithreading and data driven in its engine if you're interested, but every AAA console game has been using data driven for years.
"but every AAA console game has been using data driven for years." - i need concrete source for this information to know it's true.
i would also like a source on that claim if you don't mind
This was what confused me the most about Godots system's but this clears things up a lil bit thanks!
This is a one of the best video I've seen about Unity ECS.
Do you think maybe about creating series about Unity ECS? With more complex examples with using hybrid and pure ecs?
Wtf 😅
I just said the same lol
me too
me too
Come on, guys, it's like the very basics of programming optimization. Instead of creating 3 objects with similar functionality, create just one that will have no calculation duplication.
Vladimir Kornev wha?
I really don't like this. It's good that it's an option, but I don't want to be forced to use this. It's so complicated and annoying. I understand the idea and how it can improve performance, but it's just so bloody syntax heavy for such simple things. It also requires yet another window just to keep track of these entities. It's too much all at once and it feels unfinished, just like the shader graph in 2018.1.
TheBcoolGuy yes this my be easier on the processor but it's definitely not easy on the brain. A thing that is archived with 2 line is done with 10 lines now
Well they are both considered experimental features for a reason. Hell look what you have to do to even access ECS. It's not meant to be used by everyone, it's made for testing and learning. And there's no way that Unity would ever remove object oriented programming, because there are tons of people too stubborn or lazy to try to make the switch.
This isn't needed when you program an FPS or something. This is used for mass calculation like civilization 5 where everyone has its own AI or what not.
So coding in Unity will stay the same, but when you need better performance on high demanding games, ECS will help!
I believe you only have to use it on very performance heavy tasks and not simple things like movement, shooting other basic logic.
This thing is FREAKINTASTIC! Look at the pure ECS . It's mindblowing!
Yeah. old way is simpler and easier to do. But for optimisation freaks, like myself it is unbelievingly awesome thing. Seems like you could override things that Unity does. If so, I'm getting this.
Oh man, I hope you cover the subject of ECS more in the future, I reckon people can do some cool things with this.
good job! nice tutorial and i think this system needs more tutorials to understand how it actually work!
we should run to UE4 probably xd
lol good luck with that! C++ is strict af and for some reason, UE4 is still noob unfriendly. The Ui is similar to Blender where there is 500k options for stuff...and no clear way of getting to them or what they do lol.
Only thing I do miss is the Node Shader editor...but it looks like Shader Graph may be catching up to it soon.
That and you will basically be using this method and similar.
Oh, and if your PC is min spec to run Unity...you ain't gonna do crap with UE4 beyond a basic pong. That dang editor got so freakin heavy. They finally fixed the major memory and CPU leaks after 2 years that they fudged up 3 years ago lol. I got so many gripes with UE4 its not even funny tho.
that was ironic xd I don't plan to use coding in UE4, but i did some in Unity and this new way is quite confusing for me as enviro artist. But maybe for designers and programmers it is easier. If you mention UI then it sucks basicaly in every software.
Im usually with you Brackey, but this video definitely feels like a sponsored video (as you mentioned), I really dont see the benefit as worth the time of learning a new system. Be careful not to become a sell out as you are probably the best unity education channel and my number 1 go to spot.
Dacommenta you don't get it.
First of all, it is optional, for people like me, who want crazy performance for 100,000 of objects by carefully using CPU cache, and utilising many CPU cores. So if you don't want to use it - don't use it.
Secondly - yes, good things take effort to learn. It is easy to write shitty code that works. But when you suddenly want more performace, but you can't get it because of the way you have written it, or when you have a bug, but can't figure it out in an unmaintainable mess that you have created, you just want to burn down your software and start from scratch. It is an illusion that coding is easy. It is a work, and an art at the same time. I personally admire people who are able to write clean and performant code.
In regards to your complaint - I don't get it, how can you be mad about optional feature?
The video still feels like a sell out, Brackey's content is usually top notch, this was not.
Thanks for your statement, I learnt more from your comment than I did the video. That sounds like a great addition to unity.
Calling someone a sell out is kinda funny you know, blaming him for trying to make money for the content he makes. I think the biggest problem in this video is that Brackeys just doesn't understand himself the system well and WHY it has benefits.
Im not calling someone a sell out. I said it feels like it and be careful not to be because he is my favourite youtuber. I stand by it, its a fair statement.
Legendarior the old Brackeys that brought me in and helped make me the programmer I am felt more human and like I was having a conversation with a programmer. Then he started heavily editing the videos in a fastpaced, robotic fashion. And now he's regurgitating information from a company, not as an independent developer. That's where you become a sellout. Compare this to Quill18Creates: organic, often livestreamed, and communicative.
This is cool! When I started my game 6 months ago, I tried to roll my own ECS engine inside Unity, but it was just too much overhead to be worth it. I like their implementation of it a lot so far.
this is amazing. kind of like css stylesheet for any objects:)
we want a tutorials about how to make a racing game!
With drifting!!!
I'll happily show you for a small fee.
- Easier to reuse code: How? You don't have access to polymorphism.
- Easier to code: Turn 3 lines of code into 20 to do the same. Wow.
You’re not wrong, but Object Oriented programming in managed languages is most inefficient. Truthfully, most programmers should have learned Data Oriented Design along with OOP, but the former is almost always skipped.
@@RatKing59 "Most inefficient" is quite relative. Of course it's not going to beat in term of linear data and reduce of cache miss. But who is making games with 100,000 entities? And if It takes me 6 times more times to code the same thing, to save 1 ms/frame of CPU time, is it really worth it? Also, Unity offers IL2CPP, which turns managed intermediate language into something very close to pure C++. The difference between IL2CPP vs pure native is so small, more game devs wouldn't even notice it.
It can be much easier to code, though not as easy to wrap your head around, and there are some things that are certainly more difficult. Keep in mind when you create a system, you're done. Drop a component on any entity and it comes alive. You can rapidly created gameplay just by mixing and matching components. As you build a bigger and bigger library of systems and components, you can whip up millions of types of gameplay in minutes.
Unity components work similarly, but because the systems are built in, you require constant management of cross script and scene communication, so in that sense it's both easier and more modular (on top of the fact that its WAY faster to have one group of logic for hundreds of components, verses hundreds of components each with their own logic running).
@@MrCorrectify You haven't answered anything of what I just said. Repeating "it's easier", doesn't make it easier. You can do EXACTLY the same thing with Unity components, but with ECS you cut yourself off polymorphism and a lot of other useful OO tools. Cross-script communication is an issue you will encounter as soon as you don't do a small game, and with ECS you're stuck, unable to properly offer that communication.
ECS has advantages, but ease of writing and simplification ISN'T one of those.
A-fucking-men
My brain is fried just from this simple rotate example alone..
This approach feels very similar to MVC design patterns from non-game applications development. Pretty cool stuff.
This wasn't one of his better tutorials. He could have done a better job talking about ECS.
To be fair, I feel like this was intended to be a quick feature introduction with a simple run-through of how to get the actual features installed, rather than a full-blown tutorial
Scrawny McMassive Exactly, especially because this video was sponsored by unity themselves
Maybe, but that would require actually having an understanding of and experience with ECS, pretty sure Brackets doesn't have that expertise at this early point.
why? this might be life saving for some people. if somebody understands this, then he can search for documentation/api definitions. personally I'm not into unity so I don't see disadvantages of the old system, but I work as a programmer and this approach seems more natural based on this introduction
This suck
EM Wolf because you don't get it.
It sucks when developers can't utilize your 8 core CPU, and this new approach will hopefully fix that.
What suck are incompetent programmers who only use 1 core in 2018.
Nice simple explanation, i am definitly buying a course on it when it becomes avaliable... It super nice for multithreading the code... No more studdering in bigger games with a lot of moving parts :D
You are the amazing man I was waiting for a tutorial like this from you. Are you planning on making a machine learner tutorial? That would be Great !!!
Very nice, thank you! It will be interesting to see if there are compatibility issues with plugins.
This is why I subbed mah boy. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! Nice video
I'm really excited about this new system! It seemed that previously if you wanted to do anything performantly you basically had to do it in pure C# and avoid using Unity systems as much as possible, which kind of defeats the purpose of providing a game engine to use. This new stuff is the right direction without a doubt. If you read the docs linked, they're including injection and carefully minimizing memory allocation and access, this stuff looks really cleverly designed.
Also, if this looks scary remember that this is pretty low level, there will be higher level helpers built on top of it to simplify things, and even though that no doubt adds overhead, it will still be way faster than this mono-behavior stuff.
