Ticker

Calls tick related methods every frame. The order of operations :

Note. Behaviour.tick is only called for top-level Actors. i.e. those whose parent is a Stage. Child actors (whose parent is another Actor) are NOT called. If child actors need to be ticked, then this is the responsibility of the parent actor's behaviour. e.g.

class MyParentBehaviour : Behaviour {
    override fun tick( actor : Actor, seconds : Float ) {
        // Actions to perform before the children...

        for (child in actor.children) {
            child.behaviour.tick( child, seconds )
        }

        // Actions to perform after the children...
    }
}
