This function allows you to obtain the height of the current screen, expressed in tiles.
A tile is a box of pixels that can be addressed elementary by a specific screen code.
Normally, it is used in "text mode", since each box is a character.
The height depends on the currently selected graphics mode, and it can change at runtime.
There is also a compile-level function for this keyword, which is called when the value
is used to initialize a constant. In this case, the value is that taken from inspecting
the instructions at the time of compilation.
It can also be abbreviated to the statement TILES HEIGHT
.
= SCREEN TILES HEIGHT
currentHeight = SCREEN TILES HEIGHT
