No Game Engine Game Dev: Word Sleuth 061: Moving mediocre programmer art from Sandbox into GameScene

Game Engines are for sissies!

Today I started moving the new mediocre programmer art from the Sandbox into the GameScene. The floor, back wall, chalkboard, bookshelf, table and notebooks are all in. I broke out the Bookshelf into its own class to handle the layout and rendering a bit cleaner. It also handles the books on its own shelves. I also broke the Notebook code out into its own class. Detecting clicks on the Notebooks is a bit nuanced and would clutter up the GameScene code more than I would like.

Through the course of this there were a few opportunities to refactor and cleanup. Code that checks for point in rectangle or triangle has been put into a Math namespace for easier reuse. I did a bit of math checking and the "scaleW" and "scaleH" have been collapsed into a single "scale" function. This works because all of the supported resolutions have a 4:3 aspect ratio. Also a few other incidental refactors and cleanups.
