/*!
 * @file p_node.h
 * @brief  Definition of a parenting node
 *
 *  parenting is how coordinates are handled in orxonox, meaning, that all coordinates
 *  are representet relative to another parent node. this nodes build a parenting
 *  tree of one-sided references (from up to down referenced).
 *  Every node manages itself a list of childrens (of whos it is parent - easy...).
 *
 *  absCoordinate, absDirection have to be recalculated as soon as there was a change in
 *  place or ortientation. this is only the case if
 *  o bDirChanged is true (so changed) AND timeStamp != now
 *  o bCoorChanged is true (so moved) AND timeStamp != now
 *  this conditions make it cheaper to recalculate the tree (reduces redundant work).
