# actor
A set of utilities for iterating over a hierarchy of actor-like objects, as well
as managing tag-based lookups. Objects are assumed to have a "objects" property,
pointing to children or sub-objects, forming a tree.
### all_objects(fn, startobj) <sub>function</sub>
Iterate over each object (and its sub-objects) in the hierarchy, calling fn for each one.
**fn**: A callback function that receives each object. If it returns a truthy value, iteration stops and that value is returned.
**startobj**: The root object at which iteration begins, default is the global "world".
**Returns**: The first truthy value returned by fn, or undefined if none.
### find_object(fn, startobj) <sub>function</sub>
Intended to find a matching object within the hierarchy.
**fn**: A callback or criteria to locate a particular object.
**startobj**: The root object at which search begins, default "world".
**Returns**: Not yet implemented.
### tag_add(tag, obj) <sub>function</sub>
Associate the given object with the specified tag. Creates a new tag set if it does not exist.
**tag**: A string tag to associate with the object.
**obj**: The object to add under this tag.
**Returns**: None
### tag_rm(tag, obj) <sub>function</sub>
Remove the given object from the specified tags set, if it exists.
**tag**: The tag to remove the object from.
**obj**: The object to remove from the tag set.
**Returns**: None
### tag_clear_guid(obj) <sub>function</sub>
Remove the object from all tag sets.
**obj**: The object whose tags should be cleared.
**Returns**: None
### objects_with_tag(tag) <sub>function</sub>
Retrieve all objects currently tagged with the specified tag.
**tag**: A string tag to look up.
**Returns**: An array of objects associated with the given tag.
