13.10.1 A class with virtual function can be instantiated

Problem: Write a program to demonstrate the following:

1. A class with virtual function can be instantiated. Such virtual function can also be executed.
2. With virtual function in the base class, derived class object executes the function of its own class.

Solution: In addition to normal solution, let us add some movement to the output. Let us move characters on the screen to symbolize movement. With different speeds! See Program 13.6.
