        // convienience, but seem to act that way.
        
        // seems like Xcode can't figure out which is the designated initializer for
        // the superclass, maybe because it is Objective-C?
        
        // I'm also surprised that this is a runtime error, and not a compiler error.
        
        // this isn't a terrible way to init, but still seems redundant
        // and doesn't seem obvious that the color should be nil for a image sprite
