Components:

• Managed by systems, self-contained as much as possible
• May have references to components in other systems that they're dependent on (eg a sprite might want a position, though it may accept any vector (shared or unshared) for that position)
• Generally take those references in their constructor
• Generally designed to have a nice oop-y method interface, rather than be "just" data - eg sprite:set_frame(fx, fy), animation:reset() etc

Systems:

• Do stuff with their set of components
