Models, Views and Controllers

A Model is a class that is part of the universe simulation. If it is made apparent to the player it is through a View object. If it can be interacted with by the player it is through a Controller object.

Models, Actors and Props

An Actor is anything in a game that has 'volition' and 'intentionality', that is, that can move independently and can focus on targets. More technically, in the WARBED framework an Actor is a class that fulfills both the wb::mvc::Model and wb::Orderable interfaces. Both Individuals and Groups (f.i. soldiers and regiments) are Actors even though Groups consist of individuals, and orders given to them will be delegated to these.

A Prop is any Model that has 'no volition' and 'no intentionality'. F.i. a tree or house, but also the ground, is a Prop.
