An Entity is a structure composed of a unique ID and a collection of Components.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Entities do not have any implicit properties or behaviors. They are granted these by their collection of Components.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no limit to the amount of Components an Entity may have, and Entities can have any number of Components of a particular type.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Entities are active by default and can be deactivated. They can also be destroyed, permanently removing them and their components from the World.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Entities are created either by the WorldBuilder or by Engines. (We'll get into these soon.)

|
||
|
|
You should **never** add methods or properties to an Entity. This is what Components are for.
