Check the comments on each commit for more information. This is a big design shift to force towers to be built on top of platforms. This PR does not include the resource requirements for placing a platform.

Making the basics of a selectable grid. 7f768d23d3

This change introduces some new vocabulary for us: a Tile is a 1x1 square on our map. Enemies only need a space 1 tile wide to be able to navigate through a maze. A Pad is a 2x2 selection of tiles, and is the only selectable size currently. All towers currently have Pad sized footprints. A Platform is a raised Pad. Press Space to enter selection mode.

Adding the ability to build a platform off of a player's selection 04bbb56aee

The UI for building towers changes when in platform mode to allow players to place platforms instead of towers. I've added some safety checks so that when a load of platforms are placed at once enemies don't get flattened by a platform. Instead placement validity changes in real time and any platform that may fall onto an enemy breaks on landing. More checks are needed to allow enemies to escape being encased by platforms.

Failsafe checks that add enemies destroying platforms and towers if they get stuck 5cc0d190fd

With the new platform placement system it's possible to trap enemies entirely encircled. As a failsafe I've given them the ability to attack their way out from that trapped space to get free. I've also changed the Puerto Rican builder's name to Manny.

Making it so that towers can only be built on top of platforms 57dc2a5200

Place a platform, then build a tower on top of it. This is the final part of this implementation. When a platform is destroyed by an enemy the tower on top of it is also destroyed and no refund is given.
