public abstract class Entity
extends Object

An Entity is the superclass of all the finer types of entities of the game.

You can think of an Entity as something that could be physically located inside the Room(s) of a Labyrinth.

An Entity is composed of a UUID that uniquely identifies each instance of an Entity, a name which is used for display purposes to the user and a systemName which is used internally to the game to identify a concrete subclass type of Entity.
