anax is an open-source entity component system (ECS) library written in C++. It implements the ECS pattern used in game development, which structures objects by separating them into entities, components, and systems instead of an inheritance hierarchy: you create entities in a World, attach components to them, and then systems iterate over entities that have a particular combination of components. It is compared with EntityX, a C++ library with the same purpose.
