Also known as: Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
(because I’m now deviating from the original schedule I outlined in Part 1; what the heck, it was only a rough agenda anyway…)
Questions, questions…
First of all, there’s a bunch of good questions that have been raised in response to the first two posts:
- what data and methods are stored in the OOP implementation of an entity?
- where does the data “live”?
- how do you do object initialization?
- what does the ES bring that cannot be accomplished with an AOP framework?
- what’s the link between entity systems and SQL/Relational Databases? (OK, so that one’s my own question from last time)
- what, exactly, is an entity?
Let’s start with that last one first.
