Developer Library: Game Kit

The Game Kit consists of two classes (BWindowScreen and BDirectWindow) that gives an application more direct access to the graphics card driver for the screen. It's designed for the needs of game makers, but you don't need to be shooting aliens to take advantage of the increased graphics performance.
