/**
 * The main event system of the game engine.
 * Events are sent to the EventQueue, which handles distribution to any systems that are listening for those events.
 * This allows for handling of input without having classes directly hook into javascript event handles, 
 * and allows otherwise separate classes to communicate with each other cleanly, such as a Player object 
 * requesting a sound be played by the audio system.
 * 
 * The distribution of @reference[GameEvent]s happens as follows:
 * 
 * Events are recieved throughout a frame and are queued up by the EventQueue.
 * At the beginning of the next frame, events are sent out to any receivers that are hooked into the event type.
 * @reference[Receiver]s are then free to process events as they see fit.
 * 
 * Overall, the EventQueue can be considered as something similar to an email server,
 * and the @reference[Receiver]s can be considered as the client inboxes.
 * 
 * See @link(Game Programming Patterns)(https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/event-queue.html) for more discussion on EventQueues
