Tiny-ecs is an Entity Component System for Lua that's simple, flexible, and useful.
Because of Lua's tabular nature, Entity Component Systems are a natural choice
for simulating large and complex systems. For more explanation on Entity
Component Systems, here is some

Tiny-ecs also works well with objected oriented programming in Lua because
Systems and Entities do not use metatables. This means you can subclass your
Systems and Entities, and use existing lua class frameworks with tiny-ecs, no problem.

For an example on how to use tiny-ecs with object-oriented Lua, take a look at the
demo branch, specifically the systems and entities sub-directories.

Entities are simply Lua tables of data that gets processed by Systems. Entities
should contain primarily data rather than code, as it is the Systems's job to
do logic on data. Henceforth, a key-value pair in an Entity will
be referred to as a Component.

tiny-ecs provides some functions for generating common ones, like selecting
only Entities that have all required components.

## Use It ##
Copy paste tiny.lua into your source folder. For stability and consistent API,
please use a tagged release or use luarocks. Tagged releases will have a version
number in `tiny._VERSION`, while other commits will just have the string 'scm'.
