com.csse3200.game.entities.factories.characters.NPCFactory

public class NPCFactory
extends Object

Factory to create non-playable character (NPC) entities with predefined components.

Each NPC entity type should have a creation method that returns a corresponding entity. Predefined entity properties can be loaded from configs stored as json files which are defined in "NPCConfigs".

If needed, this factory can be separated into more specific factories for entities with similar characteristics.
