Print the current energy level for a selected entitiy.

Check:

• What content is in the energy attribute?
• How does this change over time?
• Is it possible to calculate a theoretical maximum?
• How often should the value be updated?

It should be possible to remove a monitor for a network without deconstructing the entity.

The whole code is a huge mess.
It needs to be separated and cleaned.

To make it easier to see what is monitored add the icon of the entity to the static info frame.

Problem: it is apparently impossible to get the icon. Neither the prototype nor the "items who build this" item has an icon.

Add a shortcut to minimise the monitoring window. Similar to todo list.

There should be a small UI in the top right corner.

It contains an add button (+).

Clicking it checks if there is an entity selected.
If yes it asks for a name for this network.
If name is provided it is added to the list.

The list contains

• the name
• a delete button
• a progress bar to indicate the energy level

Every couple ticks (see #1 ) the values should be updated.

If the entity does not exist anymore the monitor should be removed.
If the entity exists the current energy level should be represented on the UI.
If the current energy level is higher than the previously recorded then the max should be updated
(see #1 if maximum can be calculated)

Firgure out a good way to test this.
Ideally with faketorio.
If possible on a clean map, if not on a prepared map.
