61/**
62
63   <b>The TrackManager works as followed:</b> \n
64     \n
65   <b>1. Initialize it, by setting up the Graph. You can do this by using the following Commands.</b>
66    \li workOn(): changes the ID that will be altered through the changes.
67    \li setCurveType(): lets you set the CurveType of the Curve we are Working on. (default is BezierCurve, set this as early as possible, for this uses resources).
68    \li setDuration(): sets the length of the current path in seconds.
69    \li addPoint(): adds a point to the Curve.
70    \li addHotPoint(): adds save/splitpoint.\n
71    \li fork(): adds some interessting non-linear movments through the level (fork will force addHotPoint if not done then).
72    \li condition(): decides under what condition a certain Path will be chosen.
73    \li join(): joins some tracks together again. Join will set the localTime to the longest time a Path has to get to this Point)
74    \li setSavePoint(): Sets a HotPoint into a savePoint. A Savepoint can be used as a rollbackpoint if a Player gets shot.
75
76    HotPoints and Joins are at the beginning of a TrackElement. \n
77    SavePoints and Forks are at the end of a TrackElement \n
78    look out: <b>SAVEPOINTS CAN NOT BE FORKS</b> (but joins), because the condition is really hard to guess if you do not give some impuls. \n
79\n
80   <b> 2. Runtime knows the following: </b>
81    \li calcPos(): returns the current position on the track
82    \li calcDir(): returns the current Direction the track is flying on.
83    \li tick(): makes a Step on the Path. increases localTime by dt.
84    \li choosePath(): a Function that decides which Path we should follow.
85   
86   TrackManager can be handled as a StateMachine.
87   \n\n
88    Names:
89    \li TrackManager: handles Tracks
90    \li Track:        The Track that the ship can follow
91    \li Path:         one way through the Level, that is dependent on conditionals.
92    \li Conditional:  A decition making device, that chooses betwen different TrackElements for the Path.
93    \li TrackElement: A Part of A whole Track
