Multi-cell avatars

[GoogleCodeExporter]

All World entities are currently modeled as a single cell.  Entities will 
initially be enhanced to allow statically arranged multi-celled objects.  
Eventually mutable cell count and random cell arrangements will be implemented.

An implementation of Pong will require paddles implemented as a multi-cell 
avatar in the shape of a long movable block.  Movement, collision, and 
rendering details will be addressed during Pong development.

An avatar can be represented as multiple cells/IDs in the field array.  The 
glyph at each location is determined when rendering the canvas and is based on 
the relative location of the single entity and an array of "big glyphs."

Entity sprites implemented which are composed of a grid of glyphs.  Avatar 
rendering is solely sprite based now.  The glyph member variable still exists 
but not for map rendering.
