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.
