Detailed Description

Main class for any object in game, stores associations, labeling and components.

The entity class is the primary class each object in the game needs to use. Add components to assign functionality.

Some functions in entity class are only supposed to be called in specific context, which might be valid uses for friend keyword. Example: Entity() should only be called from Manager::addEntity(). Verify each functions intended use/scope.

Member Enumeration Documentation

GroupLabel

enum class Entity::GroupLabel

strong

Used for rendering order (last is highest) or retrieving entities of group.

Todo

Label used in singular entity shouldn't use plural

HEARTS are rendered above POWERUPS, missleading order

PROJECTILE are rendered above POWERUPS, missleading order

Generalize HEARTS as UI or similar

Enumerator
MAPTILES	Entity using TileComponent.
PLAYERS	Primary entity in player controll.
ENEMIES	Deprecated All players now grouped as Entity::PLAYERS
COLLIDERS	Fixed collider entity, e.g. a wall.
