Flyweight: Implementation and Example

Explore the Flyweight design pattern implementation in C# to efficiently manage shared data among many objects. Learn how to create a Flyweight Factory and apply this pattern to optimize memory use in a strategy game scenario. Understand how this pattern reduces resource usage while enabling specific behaviors on individual objects.
