IsometricTile

An Entity is the base type of anything that can have behavior in Excalibur, they are part of the built in entity component system

Entities can be strongly typed with the components they contain

const entity = new Entity<ComponentA | ComponentB>();
entity.components.a; // Type ComponentA
entity.components.b; // Type ComponentB
