// In the book Pro Html5 Games one of the games learned to program there is a rts. To be honest I do not really understand
// much of how to code a complete rts like shown in that book but I was looking through it again and had learned more about
// vectors. (search: the coding train)
// Force vector object in this book are used to be placed on a path to push away units. I tried to code this myself here but only
// used a couple of these vfo's myself.
// 
// What the code does is create a set of units on the map. One routine is to move all units apart from each other. The Force
// vector object code moves away units from that force vector object position. I find the angle from vector vs unit and move
// the unit in the opposite direction of that point.
//
// These vfo's can (one) be placed under the mouse. One is positioned in the movement direction of the player controlled
// unit.

// It seems to work..
