/*!
 * @file collision.h
 *  Definition of a collision relation of two WorldEntities
 *
 *  Is shared between two WorldEntity's CollisionHandles if both are subscribed to this event. In this case only one
 *  of the two CollisionHandles will calculate the CollisionReaction and the bDispatched flag will be set afterwards
 *  to signal that it's already cared about and should be ignored.
 *
 *  The collisions itself are saved in this container (CollisionEvent). Since there can be multiple collision events
 *  for one collision. Imagine: two objects are intersecting (this throws a Collision): many collision boxes will fire
 *  each of this boxes will "create" a CollisionEvent.
