    /**
    @brief
        The MobileEntity is a derived class from @ref orxonox::WorldEntity and @ref orxonox::Tickable. It is supposed to be the base class of 
        @ref orxonox::MovableEntity and @ref orxonox::ControllableEntity. You will never need to instanciate a MobileEntity directly.
        Use only its derivatives.
        In addition to the functionalities of the @ref orxonox::WorldEntity this class has a linear and angular velocity and a linear and angular acceleration.
        Every time the @see tick function is called the linear acceleration is multiplied by the time since the last call of tick and then added to the
        linear velocity. Then the linear velocity is multiplied by the time since the last call of tick and then added to the position. The same happens with
        the angular acceleration and velocity. With this procedure MobileEntities can change their position and orientation with time.

        A MobileEntity can only have the collisition type WorldEntity::None, WorldEntity::Dynamic or WorldEntity::Kinematic. The collsion type WorldEntity::Static is illegal.
