    System? Module? I'm making some spreadsheets to organize the list of things I need to code and track what still needs to be done and etc..
    eg.: The following classes work together to make the player move, get points and items: PlayerController, PlayerScore, PlayerInventory. Thus, how would you call them? Player system?

    I call them a herd, but I've seen them be called a flock.

    Something simple: Player components. Player module. Player Flock. As long as you understand what it means, I don't think it really matters too much - even if you plan to release it. I've seen some frameworks with some pretty weird names for things :)

    I liked flock!

    You're right! But if one day I work in a group I think it may be a little important... just a little :p

    Player Namespace... it's a good name! But I think it may conflict with csharp's keyword and it might not be good...

    I think system is the best one!

    I will stick with system!

    Thanks guys!

    ps.: I should have made a poll, but it's okay!
