TempEntity (entity)

This class defines a temporary entity, that only last until a given animation is finished playing out. This has been created so that the Player entity could have a death animation. This was necessary because the Health component calls the Entity::destroy method directly (overridden in the player’s definition).

In hindsight, the strategy could’ve been different, especially since the addition of States <../States.html>, as the destroy method had to be overridden anyway in the end. This might thus be changed in the future, but this approach is relatively generic either way.
