My vsge game engine uses a node based graphics engine. This makes parenting really easy for example. Entities of the game engine own a graphics node and update it’s transform, so they can be displayed to the screen easily.

I spent 2 hours debugging last night and another 2 hours today to find the reason for random crashes at application exit.

When shooting bullets, entities must be able to copy a bullet entity. That bullet entity is stored as a pointer in that entity, which has the ability to shoot. Okay, then let’s create a copy-constructor and create a new instance as a copy of that.
