-# sol2_test
+# sol2 testj
 
-Experiments in using Lua with sol2 and how best to structure the data. Contains a shoot out of SOA, vs AOS vs. MOA.
-
-SOA = Struct of Arrays
-AOS = Array of Structs
-MOA = Many Array of Structs (kind of a hybrid)
\ No newline at end of file
+Just a quick test of using sol2 and also how a God Object System would work as an alternative to ECS
+but using sol2/lua.
