Comments

The StrategyRoutine method used to perform various actions the part supports, like rendering the part, hit-testing, determining its position and responding to mouse button clicks.

This is implemented by every class derived from GenericPartClass and provides the core functionality to implement a new part.

The StrategyClass object strat contains additional information about the action to perform. The StrategyRoutine implementation should perform the action requested by the reason field.
