I'm still very much an amateur at all this, especially open source. Hopefully someone else likes using Swift and SwiftUI for games as much as I do.

Still a long way to go, but I just managed to get the same game code/UI running on both iOS and macOS without resorting to Catalyst and minimal #if's. :)

Nice work, it took me about 4 attempts to get ECS right. It's very powerful and effective for video games.

I stumbled around too before settling on GameplayKit. Apple's implementation can be surprisingly capable with a few extensions (though some parts like Agent Behavior Goals can't be extended) but it doesn't seem to have gotten any substantial updates for a couple years now.
