Our next game creation mission: Having multiple things in the game that interact, which starts by defining what exactly is a « thing » in the game. Today we embark on the journey to do just that with an Entity-Component-System, NOT the same thing as a system of entities and components (I know. Language.) The first step to that? Overcoming the hurdle of dynamic runtime types for components in a completely statically typed language like C++.
