Now that we have seen a basic version in code as well as a diagram, let's look at exactly how the Mach5 Engine implements this system. As you will see, the M5object, as it is called, contains a position, rotation, scale, and velocity. Of course, these elements could be contained in a transform component; however, these are so common that most other components will need access to this information. This is different to data such as texture coordinates or a circle collider's radius, which might not need to be shared at all:
//Component based Game object used in the Mach 5 Engine class M5Object { public: M5Object(M5ArcheTypes type); ~M5Object(void); //Public interface void Update(float dt); void ...
