| Oct 25, 2018 at 19:33 | comment | added | Jarius | Also, an Entity would only have one of each component at most, so that would just become a bunch of variables with some left empty. That seems like both a waste of space and a good way to create code bloat once you start adding more component types. | |
| Oct 25, 2018 at 18:36 | comment | added | Jarius | Wouldn't that require each Entity to have a list for each possible Component? That seems like a waste when any particular Entity might have only a few of those out of potentially dozens. This is for a video game, so efficiency is a concern. | |
