/*! Server class for WoP. <br>
 *  <b>The Dummy Sprite Object</b><br>
 *  The server class has a member of type WopSprites<SpriteDummy>.
 *  This is a sprite graphic object, that contains not a single
 *  image, but all the structur information of the real sprite object,
 *  that lives only on a client, in contrary. Besides that it will
 *  never draw an image, it behaves exacly like the object on the
 *  client and is therefore built in the same way from the graphic's
 *  configuration files in the data path. This class allows the
 *  server to keep all objects in the server world synchronized with
 *  those living in a client's world, since it contains for example
 *  the important information about animation sequences lenght.
