Entity Hierarchy

The following diagram shows the inheritance hierarchy of the entities.

clsEntity: clsEntity is the base class of any object in the ArsinWorld. With the containing PhysicalObject2D it holds the reference to the physical-object within the mason-framework. It supports the automatic redirection of functions for e.g positioning, shape, ... towards the real physical object in the simulator.

clsMobile: clsMobile is the base class for all mobile entities. It also provides an inventory to hold other entities.

clsStationary: clsStationary is the base class for all stationary entities. The structural_weight is set to DOUBLE.MAX_VALUE so no other entity is strong enough to take it away.

clsAnimate: clsAnimate provides the possibility to add a decision unit.

clsInanimate: for all dead objects
