Code obtained from a [stackoverflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4672279/bresenham-algorithm-in-javascript). This is a javascript implementation of the [Bresenham line algorithm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham's_line_algorithm). Given two points, this function will return an array of coordinates which go from point A to point B, one step at a time.
