There is also a good example of code for playing sprite animations. This is where your artwork is broken into frames and you need to render them in a certain order to create animation. You can then play the animation forward, backward, in a loop, or ping pong it back and forth. This example also shows you how to play that animation at a given speed regardless of frame rate.
The system uses double buffering to prevent the screen from flickering while it is being drawn.
Several of the utilities used in this engine are not mine. I left the authors original comments and tags in place for credit.
