Question

I have a class that acts purely as a data store for other class instances. Something like:

class Mover
{
      Position position;
      Velocity linearVelocity;
      Velocity angularVelocity;
 }

The Half-Life (Quake too?) engine did this sort of thing with its pev pointer, grouping a bunch of data into one container object.

Is this called something? I want to do some reading on best practices and proper naming conventions.

Thanks.

Answer 1

There is no specific design pattern under consideration here.

Although the object under consideration is called a Value Object
