The reason for this is that the action are allocated outsite of the
Pingu class at a point where they do not belong to a Pingu. Its not
really a perfect way currently, but we should probally let it stay
that way, at least till the 0.5 release is out.

Yep, the game engine runs at a fixed 'tick' rate (game_speed),
Everything outsite the game engine can variably adopt any rate and
as such needs a delta.
