/**
 * This interface helps us re-use code quicker for future games. The idea is to follow a general Model-View-Controller
 * approach. All the real game logic goes in a class that implements this interface, It uses actors that are implemented
 * separately. The interface GameRenderer handles drawing of the world. A single class may implement both the
 * GameEngine and GameRenderer interfaces,
 *
 * This approach allows the GameScreen class to be generic so it doesn't need to be changed when we create a new game.
