Hello World with blinking

// Fake Text Mode, or Text Mode Simulator.  I wanted some text mode like functions for originally learning programming.
// Haxe already has some console style functions in Sys, but then I realized I wanted to also do it on all platforms that
// haxe targets, whether or not they had an actual text console.  So I chose to use Haxeflixel and arrange the characters
// as a set of sprites (originally tiles but I couldn't set the individual tile colors).  The background colors are setup
// in a tilemap with 16 different colored tiles set to the default cga/ega 16 colors.  The result here is a small set of
// functions from which I hope to build a text console (like ms-dos, or dosbox), and can do things like make roguelike
// games for phones.  Or old fashioned text adventures with ascii pictures, or what have you.
