Detailed Description
Represents a part of an entity, involved in a system. The component system is doubly linked meaning the Entity contains a shared_ptr to Component while the Component keeps a weak_ptr to Entity. Components are able to not exist on an entity as the entity parent is not garunteed to exist. The initialize call cannot be issue'd without a valid entity.
