| This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on many |
| different platforms using the various native high-performance media interfaces, |
| (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to |
| your application. This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely |
| portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility. |
