Can anyone give some advice on how to get started with writing graphics
programs on Movitz? I noticed in the Graphics API section that the goal was
to create a SDL - like system for Movitz, but when looking at the source it
doesn't look like much work has been done in this particular area. I'm still
unfamiliar with Movitz with respect to what is provided in the source, and I
just started looking at vga.lisp, but any advice would be well-appreciated
to get me up to speed.

Hi Ram, unfortunately there's not much activity on Movitz right now. I
think you're right that there's not too much actual code for the
graphics API. I don't really know any particular advice wrt. getting
up to speed, but I'll be happy to help with any particular problems or
questions you might have.
