/**
 * Class that controls the LOGICAL behavior of an object independently of how it is displayed or
 * drawn. The most important method here is {@link #updateObject}: this method is, by various
 * indirections, called exactly once per game time step for every object that is on the playground.
 * It has, by virtue of the member variables {@link #gameObject} full access to
 * <ul>
 * <li>the object it is controlling
 * <li>the playground this object belongs to
 * </ul>
 * Typically, updateObject would check whether an object leaves the screen to react appropriately.
 * In that case the object can be marked for deletion (by adding it to the flag "deleted" that is
 * always defined for any playground), but of course other reactions are possible like rebounding,
 * emerging on the other side, ...
