I thought of something else, the screen variable is resized then its 
probably going to point to a new section of memory right? screen = 
create_bitmap(x,y); which means that if the user was keeping track of 
screen in his own variables now he has to go through and make sure to 
change them. We should have something like BITMAP * get_screen() which 
returns the current screen and deprecate the use of 'screen' directly.
