Dynamic Component Registration

Originally posted in our Private Development Forums on 5.10.10.

So I have found the absolute [i]best[/i] way to solve the whole "run-time Component allocation" fiasco. I'm very pleased with myself. :D

[b]Problem[/b]:

Let me give you a description of our problem. Have a look here:

The cause of frustration may not be immediately apparent. When the entity is constructing itself, it must construct each of its own components. So what's wrong with that?

The Entity has no way of knowing every component type. The solution for the time being was to hard-code cases into the ugly switch statement so that we can manually initialize individual components at load-time. 

This solution is pretty undesirable, as this means that every time we create a new component, we must also add its case to the Entity's component construction list. Fuckin' gross.

Alright, I just started on Alfreds sprite and animation, though I was recording the process of the first standing frame I lost the entire video somehow I or it didn't save and I'm really pissed, I'll just record when I work on the animation frames perhaps instead. We'll see how that works out later. Anyhow, I thought I'd show everybody the little sprite, how it looks, right now.
