a terminal based 2D pixel graphics system library
cexil uses a [y][x] coordinate system for efficiency
this is inverse the standard [x][y] coordinates of typical systems
to select a pixel at a position of x: 4 and y: 6 you would lookup the position as follows
renderer->pixels[6][4]cexil_sprites are a collection of pixels/frames with an associated position/size attribute used for rendering a consistently referenced entitity
cexil_texts contain a char array with an associated font and position attribute used for rendering text
cexil_fonts are sets of pixel frames mapped to specific characters within a character_set
cexil_character_sets are used to map char values to an index specific to the type of cexil_character_set
cexil_size is a structure containing height and width properties
cexil_position is a structure containing x and y properties
cexil_collision is a collection of helper functions which determine whether an intersection between two sets of cexil_position+cexil_size exists or could possibly exist
cexil_pixel_mapping is used to map a grid of 3:2 pixels (y:x) into a specific character representing the on/off states of that grid for output/display printing/rendering
cexil_renderer is where cexil_sprite and cexil_text get processed, rendered, and subsequently printed to the standard output stream
