"""Grease entities are useful as actionable, interactive
game elements that are often visible to the player.

You might use entities to represent:

- Characters
- Bullets
- Particles
- Pick-ups
- Space Ships
- Weapons
- Trees
- Planets
- Explosions

See :ref:`an example entity class in the tutorial <tut-entity-example>`.

	should be careful not to cause name collisions with world components,

	class attributes, such as UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES is recommended to
