TODO LIST - Vector should extend Point and be constructable from a Point. - Make sure Polygon is using Vector only when absolutely required (possibly never). - Add simple\common transforms to Matrix. - Test transforming a Polygon with a Matrix. - Evaluate need to replace trig functions in Vector with approximate lookups. - Change non-constructor modules to start with a lowercase letter. - Actors need a z-index. - Actor.update and Actor.init need access to the ActorManager. - JAVADOC ALL THE THINGS!

FUNCTIONAL NOTES - Implement and test everything in 2D now... remember to leave everything flexible for another dimension later.

An Actor
    - has a Matrix.
    - has a bounding box, polygon or circle.... this enough?
    - has a content drawing routine the assumes the actor is drawn from the origin of the stage context.

To Draw an Actor...
    - I apply the matrix to each point in the bounding box and (optionally) draw them to the stage context with an identity matrix.
    - I apply the actors Matrix to the context and render the actor context.

Motion and Physics!
    - Actors have a vector (2 components), velocity (first derivative) and acceleration (second derivative).
    - The vector is updated on each tick by the velocity.
    - The velocity is updated on each tick by the acceleration.
    - Actors have a transformation matrix.
    - The transformation matrix is updated on each tick by the size of the vector.
