What is the purpose of having MyFactory.sol?

[MrsBookik]

As I understood everything corretly, the final NFT contract is called MyCollectible.

But this example contains also a contract called MyFactory.sol which seems to be something like a Proxy as it also provides functions like balanceOf and safeTransferFrom, which are delegated to the MyCollectible-implementation. What is the purpose of this class? Can we get some more documentation about this pls? Has it something to do with OpenSea-compatibility?

Thanks everybody in advance for any explanation!

I was also asking myself this question while reading the code.

My thoughts:

• The choice of the word "factory" is a bit confusing, as no additional contracts are actually deployed here. The "new" keyword isn't to be found anywhere.
• The "MyFactory.sol" contract is simply a separation of concerns providing application logic outside of the actual "MyCollectible.sol" ERC1155 contract.

I hope that this helps!
