Description

We need support for displaying any text in the game.

This allows us to e.g. display debug messages for current coordinates of objects which would otherwise spam the console.

The first step would be creating a new logging function, which gets the display coordinates as first input.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by locating the existing logging and in-game rendering paths, then define how a logging function can accept display coordinates and arbitrary text; done means messages can be displayed in the game without relying on console output.
