This class provides basic event interactions for on, off, one and trigger which can be inherited by any other classes

EventModel
built by Luke Stebner, November 2014

This class is meant to be extended by other classes in order to provide basic event
functions including on/off/one/trigger. You've probably used these through other 
frameworks such as Backbone or jQuery, but this class allows any data object to provide
this functionality in a very clean, simple way.

Example:

Extend from your class:
class GameData extends EventModel

now, say you have this:
game_data = new GameData()

you would now get access to:
game_data.on "data_updated", (new_data) =>
  // do something with new_data

game_data.update_game_data = ->
  $.ajax
    //ajax settings
    success: (msg) =>
      @trigger "data_updated", msg.data



That's all there is to it! You can now fire events and pass data to callback listeners
without requiring any additional frameworks.
