OVERVIEW:
At the start of frame, a fast loop instantly blits the entire text which is retrieved from a string object.
The Character displaying > is deleted.
As each Character is created, the line on which it is created is stored in an alterable value, Line ID. Any Character objects with a Line ID matching the currently Selected Line are changed to the Tileset 2 animation. The Tileset 2 animation contains the same characters as Tileset 1, only they are green.
Pressing the Up or Down arrow keys subtracts or adds 1 to the Selected Line value.
