classes: Screen and Mouse. Screen handles most of the drawing, except the
mouse cursor and in-game menus.
The old Graphics class is no more.
I've also fixed some "reverse stereo" regressions from the first part of
the restructuring.
I'm not sure what the next step will be, but hopefully it will be smaller
than this one was.

our other engines do this, so there is little reason for BS2 to. I did add
a filtering mechanism so that mouse button releases and scroll wheeling is
ignored during normal gameplay, but I don't know if that was necessary
either.
Since this left little more than an empty husk where the Input class used
to be, I've eliminated that class and buried its remains in Sword2Engine.

so that it gets properly redrawn. Only the debugging code uses these
drawing primitives, so it's no big deal, but it's still the right thing to
do.

renders the entire screen every frame, but it tries to update (i.e. copy to
the backend) only the parts of the screen that actually changed. At least
approximately so.

over the past few weeks, except for g_sword2. (Of course, this doesn't
necessarily make the code any prettier, but we can work on that later.)

and removed some of the references to global variables.
At this point I believe everything in the main game engine has been moved
into classes - not necessarily the correct ones, but still... However,
there is some stuff in the driver directory that need to be taken care of
as well.
svn-id: r11207
touches a lot of the code, of course, and adds yet another global variable
(temporarily, I hope), but everything still seems to work.
Knock on wood.

speculating that the timer didn't always fill the buffer quite fast enough
and that this is what caused the occasional popping noises.
Of course, I may have introduced all kinds of regressions - particularly
since I don't have any big-endian computer to test on - but we're all
friends here, right? :-)

already reached its scroll target. This keeps BS2 from using all available
CPU time all of the time.
It may still be that we need a mechanism for throttling the frame rate when
the scene is moving towards a scroll target, but my computer isn't really
fast enough to test that.
Two other bugs fixed in the process:
* I think the last frame of the render cycle was rendered, but not
displayed. If so, that should be fixed now.
* I discovered that there are cases where we do need to clear the screen
(e.g. at the "Meanwhile..." message when George has found out about the
Glease Gallery), so I've re-enabled the function and disabled it in the
render cycle.

block surfaces. (A block surface is a 64x64 tile of a parallax layer.)
I've also done a few things to try and optimize the drawing:
* The back buffer is no longer cleared between frames. This may cause
regressions, but I do believe that the entire picture area is always
completely re-rendered for each frame.
As a result of this, the menu code is now responsible for clearing the
icon areas itself.
* A few unnecessary copy_rect() calls were commented out in favor of one
big copy_rect() in ServiceWindows().
* Completely opaque block surfaces are copied with memcpy(), one line at a
time.
Unless we manage to add intelligent screen redrawing, I don't think it will
get that much faster than this, though there is some unnecessary data
copying in DrawSprite() that could be removed.
And the game is still a terrible CPU hog. I believe the animation runs at
approximately 12 fps. If there's still time left, it will pump out further
frames to get smooth scrolling. We ought to put a cap on that, and if it
has already reached the scroll target it should sleep for the rest of the
render cycle.

for the making it a timer handler. This should eliminate the occasional
glitches I've been seeing with fades not being completed.
I'm also hoping that it will fix the problem where the game would sometimes
hang when moving between rooms. I know that at least once when I had that
happen to me the game was busy-waiting for the palette to fade.
At the very least, it's one place less to worry about thread-safety in.

unnecessary stuff from our own Surface class. The former allows the in-game
dialogs to at least sort of work, and the latter gained me a few frames per
second, according to the built-in FPS counter.
svn-id: r9825
the old way would have made it impossible to access the (not yet
implemented) menu icons at the top of the window. I hope this one works...
