Abstract: Systems and methods for application development via a graphical user interface (GUI) using an Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for application development may include receiving a selection of at least one actor to be part of a game scene; displaying a representation of the at least one actor in the game scene; receiving a selection of one or more behaviors to associate with each of the at least one actors in the game scene; storing the selected one or more behaviors as associations with each of the at least one actors, wherein the associations are stored in a hash table; updating, each of that at least one actors and their associated behaviors; and automatically creating an executable video game based on the at least one actor and associated behaviors in an ECS architecture without the need for user written software code.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose a method for rendering a frame using graphics accelerated hardware comprising determining whether a command invoked in a script is a graphics command or a non-graphics command, executing the non-graphics command in a first thread, adding the graphics command to a first batch of a backlog of batches in a graphics context to be executed in a second thread, locking, in the first thread, the backlog of batches not executed yet by the second thread and adding a second batch that is empty to the backlog and swapping, in the first thread, the second batch with the first batch.
