The object that controls the flow of the game, and the launch point of the game.
Game contains the various components, including the screen, the maze, and all of the objects in the maze. The timing of the gameloop also falls under Game's control. Essencially, Game is the central point that everything connects to.

[private] |
Main part of the game, performs the actions in each frame FPS times per second until the game is over.
Each frame runs the update methods of each of the GameObjects in the lists. The CollisionDetector then checks for collisions between objects. Any GameObjects that have been destroyed are then removed from their lists. Finally, the Screen is called to draw all of the GameObjects that still exist in their new positions.
Before the next iteration begins, a check is done for the victory and loss conditions. The loop is ended if either of these are met, or if the player has quit the game.

Typically a single PlayerCar, controlled by the person playing the game.
A list was used for _players to allow the Game object to be constructed without needing to initialise a meaningless PlayerCar object. This also allows the PlayerCar to be destroyed by Rocks or EnemyCars. An added benefit is that it adds the ease of extending the game to allow multiple players. To add multiplayer, the KeyboardHandler would need to be modified to allow different sets of input keys, and the Screen would need to be modified to keep all players visible, but the Game class would be able to remain largely unchanged.
