Right now users are forced to have the canvas at the top left and have to wait for font.load to change the styling.

It would be cool if this library implemented different way to place tiles in a 2d array. The console class could either implement a method that renders a 2d array at a certain point on the console

void put2DArrayAt(2DArray array, int offsetX, int offsetY) {...}

or render only a portion of the 2d array.

I already have a pretty solid implementation of the camera class and you can see how it is used here. A way I see this being useful is if you have different 2d arrays of things such as the map, player stats, or a menu to choose items. This way you can overlap the arrays without losing data.

It seems like flush() is taking a really long time to draw (maybe it's the font drawing?). I can barely draw a 100x100 map under 250 ms. Perhaps we can look into optimizations for the drawing and test to see which part is the bottleneck.

*edit: I forgot to mention, nice library and thanks for making it! 👍
