This is a relatively simple library designed to emulate most of the features of Greenfoot in Processing. This was originally made for a school project and aims to enable easy 2D game creation within Processing.
If you're using this in a class or as a teaching tool, I'd love to hear about it!

The library works with two concepts: worlds and actors.
The World class is where all the interaction and gameplay takes place - it's where all the Actors live, and for most
games one World is enough.
The Actor class is where all the per-item code goes: you might have a player Actor, one for an item the player can
pick up, and maybe a few for obstacles.
