Inheritance diagram for Engine::Component:

Public Member Functions
virtual	~Component ()=default
	Virtual destructor to allow proper cleanup of derived components.
virtual void	Start ()
	Called once when the component is first initialized.
virtual void	Update (float dt)
	Called every frame to update the component logic.
virtual void	OnDestroy ()
	Called when the component is destroyed or removed from the GameObject.
virtual std::string	GetTypeName () const =0
	Returns the name of the component type. Useful for debugging, logging, or editor systems.

Public Attributes
GameObject *	gameObject = nullptr
	Pointer to the GameObject that owns this component.

Protected Member Functions
	Component ()=default
	Protected constructor to prevent direct instantiation of the base class.

Detailed Description
