+= ObjectManage =

+ * __File__: source:/trunk/src/util/object_manager.h#HEAD
+
+== Idea ==
+The ObjectManager is the one place, where all the Entitites of the Game are stored.
+The ObjectManager has multiple lists for Environmentals, enemies, dead and living matter, friends, projectiles and so on. 
+
+With the ObjectManager Entities can be grouped, and as such be ticked, drawn and collided independently and much safer, as without it.
+
+== Interaction ==
+The ObjectManager works closely together with WorldEntity, as it is a storage container for them.
+
+The ObjectManager has the following Lists, to store Entities:
+
+|| OM_NULL             || Not accessible (where they are created and deleted !! DO NOT USE THIS) ||
+|| OM_DEAD             || Dead Entities, that might be revived ||
+|| OM_DEAD_TICK        || Dead Entities, that must be ticked (e.g to respawn them for instance) ||
+|| OM_ENVIRON_NOTICK   || Environment that is dead matter (ground house...) ||
+|| OM_ENVIRON          || Environment that moved (water, trees, Particles...) ||
+|| OM_COMMON           || Everything that is nowhere else, (collides with all groups) ||
+|| OM_GROUP_??         || Groups, for entitites ||
+|| OM_GROUP_??_PROJ    || Projectiles of the above mentioned groups. ||
+
+
+To Put an entity into a corresponding group (and thus taking it out of its previous group) do a:
+{{{
+#!cpp
+  WorldEntity* entity = new DoomsDayDevice();
+  entity->toList(OM_GROUP_01_PROJ);
+}}}
