Summary of the Observer Pattern Implementation

The code demonstrates a game system refactored to use the Observer pattern, consisting of these key components:

Observer Interface (GameObserver): Defines methods for different game events (player damaged, player death, enemy death).
Subject Interface (Subject): Manages a list of observers and provides methods to add, remove, and notify observers.
Game Entities (Player and Enemy): Inherit from Subject and notify observers when their state changes.

	// The Data Container (Anemic Property)
	class BankAccount {
	public:
	std::string id;
	double balance;
	bool isFrozen;

	#include <iostream>
	#include <vector>
	#include <string>

	// Interface - defines what all enemies must do
	class IEnemy {
	public:
	virtual ~IEnemy() {} // Virtual destructor for cleanup

	virtual void takeDamage(int damage) = 0; // Pure virtual = must implement

	std::vector<sf::Sprite>& enemies,
	sf::Texture& explosionTex)
	{

	if (sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::Left))

	The evolution demonstrates:

	Starting with a single strategy for a game action.
	Expanding to multiple strategies executed together.
	Refactoring into a subject-observer structure.
	Adding dynamic management for an arbitrary number of observers.

	Strategy (Step 1): A single game-related behavior (e.g., starting the game) is encapsulated and executed, making it interchangeable with other behaviors like pausing or exiting.
	Observer (Step 4): Multiple game components (observers) are notified of the button press and react in their own way (e.g., starting the game, playing a sound, updating the score).
