Replace the map from text-based into sprite/images #8

This is probably WAYYYY down the track but at the moment the map is expressed using String and each Terrain object is displayed depending on their mapSymbol which is a single capital letter (eg. VillageTerrain is represented as "V" on the map).

What would be cool is if we can replace this text-based creation of the map into using sprite or images instead. A good set of sprites we could probably steal and grab from is from pokemon ;D

Wow.. well I got bored tonight and decided to implement this! Ended up being relatively straightforward ;D Main thing I had to use was a GridLayout object in the java.awt library which is basically a NxN grid, perfect to representing a 2D map :) Also got the sprites off the website mentioned above and also from googling "sprite sheets" for the character images!
