# Build 2D games with LuaJIT

> Typed entity component system and game framework for Lua.

Tecs is a high-performance, typed Entity Component System for LuaJIT. The core tecs module is renderer-agnostic; tecs2d layers on LÖVE2D integration, GPU-driven rendering, input, audio, UI, tiled maps, and MCP tooling.
