/**
@brief SpaceBoundaries gives level creators the possibility to bar Pawns from leaving a defined area (until now this area is a ball).

       Five attributes can/should be defined in the XML-File:
       - 'warnDistance' : If the distance between the pawn of the human player and 'position' is bigger than 'warnDistance', a message is displayed to
                          inform the player that he'll soon be leaving the allowed area. 
       - 'maxDistance' : defines the area, where a pawn is allowed to be (radius of a ball).
       - 'showDistance' : If the distance between the pawn and the boundary of the allowed area is smaller than 'showDistance', the boundary is shown. 
       - 'healthDecrease' : a measure to define how fast the health of a pawn should decrease after leaving the allowed area (unnecessary if 'reactionMode' == 0).
                            Recommended values: 0.1 (slow health decrease) to 5 (very fast health decrease)
       - 'reactionMode' : Integer-Value. Defines what effect appears if a space ship has crossed the boundaries.
                            0: Reflect the space ship (default).
                            1: Decrease Health of the space ship after having left the allowed area.
