games.cavu.entityClass

An entity class to share between games: a Lua script returning the class table (handlers, project, view, synced, ...), run sandboxed by the Cavu entity engine. A game lists it in its manifest under `classes` by the name it gives it ("walker": "at://did/games.cavu.entityClass/rkey"), and its own classes may extend it by that name.
