Detailed Description

Abstract class that provides an interface for handling movables.

Anything that contains movables should be a location. Movables, at the lowest level, move only between locations, without knowledge of any wider context. The implementation of the location must provide a method to return the module in which the location is located, though. Most commonly, certain modulefunctions will be locations.

Todo:
implement connection and pathfinding interface

double IMS_Location::GetMovableMass ( )
Returns
The total mass of all movables currently at this location
void IMS_Location::InvokeMovablePreStep ( )

invokes PostStep() on all movables currently in this location

Note
This method must be called every frame by someone (preferably the implementing class), but never more than once!
