Detailed Description

Base class for game entities.

Contains basic entity information (position, picture, etc.). All game entity classes should be child classes of this class.

Entity contains: position, old position, size, color and picture.

Position and old position are used by renderer to interpolate (because rendering and game updates happen at different frequencies). So in entity update code, first set old position to current position; and then change the position as you like.
