This is the most fun I've had programming in quite some time. It's a fairly extensive and yet simple media library - has extensions to handle all manner of graphics, fonts, sounds, windows, movement and even has an opengl extension if you want to skip the proprietary mess.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Wow, I just failed really hard. I spent so long trying to figure out why my code wasn't working and then I realized I made the sprite sheet too small in photoshop. ._.
