Brings back memories. When I started coding graphical applications, writing directly to the graphic card's memory was the only way I understood. As I didn't know any better I had to recode stuff like line, circle and sprite drawing on my own. It was super slow but a very fun way to get into coding.

Maybe it's just me but I have the impression that drawing arbitrary things on screen has become harder since then.
