Right, the goal is to use Allegro from the language in the style of the 
language. I took an object oriented approach to the Java version and a 
functional approach to the Scheme version. I assume you will use C#'isms 
for C#. In the end what you are really doing is inventing a new graphics 
API which is "finally" implemented in Allegro. You could do the same 
thing with SDL or DirectX even, I like doing it with Allegro because 
there is so much functionality built in that I dont have to do much work 
on the other side to have a powerful graphics toolkit.
