| 11 | This library is designed to make it easy to write games that run on many |
| 12 | different platforms using the various native high-performance media interfaces, |
| 13 | (for video, audio, etc) and presenting a single source-code level API to |
| 14 | your application. This is a fairly low level API, but using this, completely |
| 15 | portable applications can be written with a great deal of flexibility. |
