Add support for a camera
Some questions to consider:
- How this will affect mouse coordinates? i.e. should it default to screen or world coordinates?
- How UI elements will be handled?
- Can this be made flexible so it can supports parallax effects?
I have been thinking about how to handle mouse coordinates for a while. I think the best way to do it is to have two mouse objects which are mouse, s_mouse (screen mouse), and w_mouse (world mouse). plus a third mouse object which is an alias of s_mouse (or w_mouse? I am not really sure). I am not yet convinced this is the best naming but you get the idea.
For UI elements, we could pass a special property on sprite creation to make it use screen coordinates. As for parallel effects, I don't think that is something that Nyan should be concerned about as it is something that can be implemented trivially from the user side.
