I am not familiar with this.
To me they seem like some kind of forward declaration or perhaps some kind of indicator that it's ok to use these ?
What does this do in C++ ?
It seems to be some kind of forward declaration, so this then leads to the question:
Why not simply include those classes/header files ?
Could this be because of circular reference/header inclusion ?
Or is there some other technical reason for this ?
Maybe to make this BattlescapeGame a "master" class which can be referenced to by others for accessing a whole bunch of stuff or saving/loading games files ?!
Maybe for convenience, central class to access other data, and group data together... (?)
