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.)
{{% notice warning %}} You should never add methods or properties to an Entity. This is what Components are for. {{% /notice %}}
