class Effect(metaclass=ABCMeta):
    """
    Abstract class to handle a special effect on the screen.  An Effect can
    cover anything from a static image at the start of the Scene through to
    dynamic animations that need to be redrawn for every frame.

    The basic interaction with a :py:obj:`.Scene` is as follows:

    1.  The Scene will register with the Effect when it as added using
        :py:meth:`.register_scene`.
    2.  The Scene will call :py:meth:`.Effect.reset` for all Effects when it
        starts.
    3.  The Scene will determine the number of frames required (either through
        explicit configuration or querying :py:obj:`.stop_frame` for every
        Effect).
    4.  It will then run the scene, calling :py:meth:`.Effect.update` for
        each effect that is in the scene.  The base Effect will then call the
        abstract method _update() if the effect should be visible.
    5.  If any keys are pressed or the mouse moved/clicked, the scene will call
        :py:meth:`.Effect.process_event` for each event, allowing the effect to
        act on it if needed.

    New Effects, therefore need to implement the abstract methods on this
    class to satisfy the contract with Scene.  Since most effects don't require
    user interaction, the default process_event() implementation will ignore the
    event (and so effects don't need to implement this method unless needed).
