      public GameUI(int sizeX, int sizeY)
      as typical for GUI classes this constructor creates all the components and adds them to the frame. It adds this instance as ActionListener for all components. See actionPerformed(ActionEvent) for details. It directly sets the frame visible as a final step.

      If you want to extend this GUI, create a subclass and add new elements in constructor. It is necessary to call Component.revalidate() on frame attribute after changing/adding components to panel or canvas, because the constructor here already sets visibility to true and renders the IFrame.

      Parameters:
      sizeX - pixel dimension wanted in x direction
      sizeY - pixel dimension wanted in y direction
