Add Multi-Platform 2D StartKit

[CartBlanche]

So for people new to MonoGame, this 2D Start-Kit is for them to hit the ground running with a 2D game.
Ideally pulling in things we showed in isolation, in our samples.

To that end this Start-Kit currently implements:

• Screen Management system (from samples)
• Mult-lingual support, and dynamically changing them
• Settings to be able to toggle Full Screen, Change Languages, and Which Particle Effect to use.
• Basic scripting for player movement
• About screen to show 1 way to launch the default browser (more testing required)
• Basic ParticleManager with 3 simple particle effects (needs tweaking and enhancing)
• Saving Setting State, so it can pick them up between runs
• Counter now counts up
• Player now dies if they fall a particular distance
• Added support for breakable tiles, a la Mario
• Short Tutorial, to show gameplay goals, from MainMenu
• Basic tracking of previous high score
• Mouse/Touch interaction with menu items.
• Mouse/Touch interaction to move player around level.
• Mouse/Touch input scales across platforms, based on BaseScreenSize
• Added extra Idle frames for player character (definitely need s proper artist down the line)

Level Tile Types:

Level Character	Rendered As	Tile
.	Blank
P	Player
X	Exit
~	Platform Block
:	Passable Block
#	Impassable Block
;	Breakable Block
1, 2 or 3	Gem Tile of different values. 1 lowest. 3 highest
A, B, C or D	Different Enemy Types

Game Levels

Bounties

• Level Loading Screen and completed management.
• Convert HighScore Tracking into proper leaderboard, with Player Name input
• Level visualiser and Editor
• Support more languages.
• More levels?
• Release on App Stores?
• implement Power ups
• Get artist to create player idle, walk and whip crack animations.
• Add functionality to support walk and whip crack animations and enemy death from whip crack hits
• Add FSharp version

I think the code base needs cleaning up before merging, but also may need refactoring and input from others to make sure it's using best practices.

@mrhelmut , @dellis1972, @SimonDarksideJ: I think the StartKit is now feature complete.
Next steps are:

• Have a 2D Pro look through the code and point out what needs to change for "best practices"
• Comment (allmost) ALL the things
• Fix input scaling bug (may need another pair of eyes on this)

Best check the image links in the ReadMe @CartBlanche :D

I don't have access to review @CartBlanche , must be permissions?

Main query at this point, is that the "Blank" multi-platform project should be just that, blank.

• 2D Starter kit - a basic 2D multi-platform project
• Blank multi-platform kit - A blank project with just a bare bones game1.cs like the other blank projects.

Unless you also want a 2D start kit with framework as well? Which tbh, is a bit overkill.

I thought we agreed to use a non proprietary font @CartBlanche , but the SpriteFonts are set to use Arial ?

[CartBlanche]

@SimonDarksideJ Font is placeholder until we decide which font to ship in all of our samples and templates.

Blank has now been trimmed down even further. So no menu items or menus.

@SimonDarksideJ the links to the images work, when you click on the them, but can't get them to appear in the PR itself.
