 ### interactTypes, interactAreas
 `interactTypes` is an object of interaction types by name, giving each type's defaults. Rub, Smack, Kiss and Turn Around come from common. A type gets a button on the taskbar only if one of the character's areas uses it. `interactAreas` is a list of the concrete areas on a character which can be interacted with; usually for belly rubs, kisses, etc. Each area names its `type` and takes all of that type's settings, changing whichever it gives itself.
