   \brief standard constructor
   
   Every derived contructor HAS to call the previous one supplying the isFree parameter. This is necessary to distunguish
   between free and bound entities. The difference between them is simply the fact that the movement of a free entity is
   not bound to the track of a world. Use this to implement projectile or effect classes that do not have to travel along the track.
   To specify an entity to be free or bound set the default parameter in the declaration of the constructor.
   Theoretically you should never have to call the constructor of an Entity directly, for it is called by the spawn() function of the World
   class. So if you want to create a new entity at any time, call World::spawn(). It will handle everything that is necessary.
