new: simp family genus species "spritefilename" total-sprites first-sprite plane
[For Family and Genus identification, see Table 4]

Sprite count starts at 0, so when you define the total-sprites, make sure you
account for this. Just because the first frame is 0, doesn't mean you shouldn't
count it as 1! But when defining the first-sprite, use the 0 count. For
example, to start at frame 0 on an agent that uses frames 0-10, your total-
sprites is 11, but your first-sprite is 0. Understand? :) This is a common
error and is a bit confusing for beginners.

to its PERM.
Collisions
128 Suffer Physics Agent falls with proper physics, including
gravity, air resistance and friction. Otherwise,
it simply moves with velocity.
