 2. Make sure that when you open the folder, you can directly find `README.md` in the listing. If you just see another folder, move that folder up one level and delete the old one.

-Functions are added on load time with a specified name.

-Each action consists of a position, the name of an added function to be called,

-priority.
-
-If time = 0, the action will be executed in the next globalstep, otherwise the

-It is guaranteed, that for two actions ac1, ac2 where ac1 ~= ac2,
-ac1.time == ac2.time, ac1.priority == ac2.priority and ac1 was added earlier
-than ac2, ac1 will be executed before ac2 (but in the same globalstep).
