//TODO: JON: Go over with Sarazua. This is rather nitpicky, so we can skip it.
//Right now, the coloring is based off the actor's faction
//so that the player can easily see where their characters and enemies are without having
//to read any text. Additional options (that maaaay be better(?) but harder to do) would be to
//have the background reflect who's turn it is currently. So when it's an enemy's turn and the
//game redraws the map, have their tile appear in DarkRed, then have text at the bottom
//describe what he's doing while waiting for the user to press a button to continue. I don't
//think we can do both effectively, since colors are very limited. We also don't want the map
//to be too visually busy, since that defeats the point, so we need to be careful when we're
//assigning different background and foreground colors. Perhaps making all points of interest
//Yellow (or some other color), instead of using yellow for ladders, red for doors, etc.
