//! In this example we will simulate a population of entities. In every tick we will:
//! 1. spawn a new entity with a certain possibility
//! 2. age all entities
//! 3. despawn entities with age > 2
//!
//! To demonstrate change detection, there are some console outputs based on changes in
//! the `EntityCounter` resource and updated Age components
