Before you're want to apply your changes make sure that, at least, you know the basics of game dev. Especially is required that you know how the ECS pattern works because this pattern is at the core of the game.

If you don't know how it works, here's there is a list of resources:

• wikipedia page
• evolve your hierarchy article
• redxdev/ECS docs

Indeed, If you want to learn about others design pattern/architecture which could be suitable for game dev check out the fantastic gameProgrammingPatterns e-book.
