2 * @file fast_factory.h
3 * The ObjectManager (FastFactory) is designed, to automatically generate and remove
4 * (without to much overhead) many instances of different classes.
5 *
6 * It is especially usefull for objects, that come only for a short time into existence,
7 * and get killed after a small amount of time (like shots).
8 *
9 * The Creation of an Object is usually done in the Weapon Class, where one subscribes
10 * a Projectile with:
11 * this->bulletFactory = tFastFactory<TestBullet>::getFastFactory(CL_TEST_BULLET, "TestBullet");
12 * (this might change over time).
13 * Then you can at loading time initialize an amount of the class with something like:
14 * this->bulletFactory->prepare(100); // creates 100 entities of TestBullet (dead ones)
15 * afterwards one can just retrieve an Object form the Class with
16 * this->bulletFactory->resurrect();  // this returns a BaseObject an Object of the class.
17 *
18 * The big difference to the FastFactory-class is, that this one is used more for the purpose
19 * of fast game-interaction than for loading. althought one can also load FastFactorized classes
20 * it is not the main topic.
