Calculates the current frame.
o calculateNewPosition()
Calculates the new X and Y position based on velocity and time.

Each Actor is handed a g and is expected to draw itself in it.
o setImage(Image)
Set the image used for animation.
o setImage(Image, int, int)
Set the image used for animation.
o setImage(Image, int, int, int, int)
Set the image used for animation.
o tick()
Change animation frame, calculate new position, and calculate new velocity..

Constructors

o Actor 
  public Actor()

Methods

o tick 
  public void tick()
Change animation frame, calculate new position, and calculate new velocity..
o setImage 
  protected void setImage(Image theImage,
                          int frameXSize,
                          int frameYSize,
                          int framesHorizontally,
                          int totalFrames)
Set the image used for animation.
o setImage 
  protected void setImage(Image theImage)
Set the image used for animation. Good for an image that has all frames within it and none empty.
o setImage 
  protected void setImage(Image theImage,
                          int horizontalFrames,
                          int totalFrames)
Set the image used for animation. Good for an image that has some empty frames within it.
o calculateNewPosition 
  protected void calculateNewPosition()
Calculates the new X and Y position based on velocity and time. Also may check if Actor needs to wrap around at the edges if the wraparound flag is set.
o calculateNewVelocity 
  protected void calculateNewVelocity()
Override this to provide your own behaviour.
o calculateCurrentFrame 
  protected void calculateCurrentFrame()
Calculates the current frame. Behaviour is to flip through frames sequentially and loop.
o checkForOutOfBounds 
  protected void checkForOutOfBounds()
Check for out of bounds and wrap if it is.
o draw 
  public void draw(Graphics g)
Each Actor is handed a g and is expected to draw itself in it.
o collideWithActor 
  protected void collideWithActor(Actor theActor)
Override this method to handle the case when Actor collides with another.
o bounceOff 
  public void bounceOff(Actor theActor)
Bounce off the specified Actor. Changes it's velocity so that it appears to bounce off.
