Archetype - A Novel Entity-Component-System for AI-Driven Simulations

I’ll present Archetype, an Entity-Component-System (ECS) framework built for AI-driven simulations. I’ll showcase live code in VS Code, demonstrating how Archetype manages entity state across multiple simulations using a custom data store. You’ll see how it handles dynamic entity creation, state querying, and data persistence at scale, with a focus on the core storage module that leverages columnar data formats for performance. I’ll also walk through a practical example of simulating entities with diverse behaviors, highlighting the technical implementation details and challenges overcome during development.
