Detailed Description
A component of an entity in the game's component entity system.
Components represent an aspect of an Entity. They store state information, such as position and sprite data, as well as mark the Entity as belong to a certain class of object, like being the player or an AI opponent.
Component types are identified with their ID, which is passed to the constructor. To avoid odd bugs and behavior, all instances of the same Component subclass should have the same ID, which is usually declared as a static member of the class or a preprocessor constant in the header file.
