//
// - uix.Actor is a doodads.Drawing so it fulfills doodads.Actor to be a
//   dynamic object during gameplay.
// - It has a pointer to the level.Actor indicating its static level data
//   as defined in the map: its spawn coordinate and configuration.
// - A uix.Canvas that can present the actor's graphics to the screen.
