Seperate Terrain and sprites.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We could do with seperating the terrain and sprites from each other. Right
now, the heightMap class loads millions of sprites onto the terrain, but I
honestly don't see how that's helpful at all.

Also, the collsion detector currently requires you to weed out all the
sprites that don't have double-entries.

The suggestion for how this system might be accomplished is thus:

 * Have a seperate array for the terrain which is combined with the sprite
array at rendertime.
 * Have a special addTerrainInfo(image, x coord, y coord) function to set
the terrain in a particular place.
 * heightMap should be able to deal with drawing fake invisible "triangles"
and working out what image to draw based on info it's provided.

Semi-solved... added $type to Sprite and created Terrain which will be used for
terrain tiles on the next release.

Enjoy.
