Introduction
A system, of the entity-component-system pattern, provides global scope, services, and management to classes of components. It provides public APIs (methods and properties) for classes of components. A system can be accessed through the scene element, and can help components interface with the global scene.
For example, the camera system manages all entities with the camera component, controlling which camera is the active camera.
