Shows how to use the Demo Frameworks 'basic' 2d rendering capabilities that work across all backends. The basic2D interface allows you to render ASCII strings using a system provided font and draw colored points.
The functionality in Basic2D is used internally in the framework to render the profiling overlays like the frame rate counter and graph.
