It seems to work okay, apart from crashing when you right click (the
co-ordinate calculations seem broken). What should it do better? I do
agree though that it would be nice to have different drawing modes, even
though most graphics libraries don't seem to bother with them.

It's a cool cross-platform game library. Not quite as polished as Allegro,
but it's portable to 'doze, X11, GGI, FBcon, SVGALIB, and some others too.
It's written in a combination of C++ and assembly, for optimum
difficulty-to-understand. It uses a nice library called Hermes which
converts things between different bit-depths extremely fast, especially
if you have an MMX processor.
