We can streamline the process of setting up the foundation classes for a game using this process instead:

• Have a single base class for the game's document class.
• Have that class construct() itself when the ROOT_CREATED event is dispatched.
• Have the class passed to new Starling() be the Viewport class to act as the root starling display object.

This way people can contribute to the documentation.

Rather than x and y properties on Being, expose a position object of type Vector2D. This will allow much nicer ways to measure the distance between Beings, etc.

e.g. when going back to the main menu, then back to the game.

Instead of needing to have 50000000 separate Embed blocks, let's try embed a single zip file and source assets from there. Some leads:

Remove ServiceManager.setServices() and add an argument in its constructor which accepts the list of services instead.

Instead of providing a World and UI in the super() call of the GameplayState constructor, create defineWorld and defineUI methods instead for consistency.

As per this discussion.

• Set up a test project for render tests.
• Add ASDoc for IGraphics and IGraphicsContainer.
• Clean up usage of Texture if needed (e.g. remove instances where starling.textures.Texture is required outside of Sentinel.
• Implement additional functionality:
  • Improve functionality where an Image is swapped for another; extend this functionality to the other display types.
• Review usability of all graphics classes & implement possible improvements.

All over the shop. Circular references between all services.

Also remove the game identity when done as that's the only reason this exists.
