After reading a lot about entity/component based engines. I fill like there is no real definition for this kind of engine. Reading this thread: http://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/32693/implementing-features-in-an-entity-system and the linked article made me think a lot.

I did not fill that confortable using **System** concept so i write something else, inspired by this pattern. I'd like to know if you think it's a good way to organize game code and what improvements can be made. 

**Regarding a more strict implementation of entity/component based engine, is my solution viable? Do i risk to get stuck at any point due to the lack of flexibility of this implementation (or anything else) ?**

My engine, as for entity/component patterns has entities and components, no systems since the game logic is handled by components. Also, i think the main difference is the fact that my engine will use inherence and OOP concepts in general, i mean, i don't try to minimize them.

 - Entity: an entity is an abstract class. It holds his position, with and height, scale and a list of linked components. The current implementation can be find [here][1] (java). Every frame, the entity will be updated (i.e all the components linked to this entity will be updated), and rendered, if a render component is specified.
 - Component: like for entity, a component is an abstract class that must be extended to create new components. The behavior of an entity is created through his components collection. The component implementation can be find [here][2]. Components are updated when the owning entity is updated or for only one specific component (render component), rendered. Here is an example of a [logic component][3] (i.e not a renderable component, a component that's updated each frame) in charge of listening for keyboard events and a [render component][4] in charge of display a plain sprite (i.e not animated).

Thanks for considering and reading me.
