DOTS

Guidelines

• Systems should only have simple & definable tasks (Keep It Simple Stupid).
• If components always or mostly are used together they should probably be combined.
• Use keyword in for readonly components & ref for mutable components.
• Use .Run() for systems with inexpensive update & .Schedule(handle) for "heavy" systems.
• Use UpdateBefore[typeof(/* system */)] etc to define ordering of systems.
