Making a video game implies drawing on the screen. Everybody knows that! So, let's go ahead and finally draw something on the screen. We're not going to step aside from the tradition of saying hello to the world, but we're going to make it more visual.

First of all, we'll need an actual image to display on the screen. It is not some kind of a special image; we could use any, but I've prepared an earth image that works best for this sample. To display images in the game, we should first add them to the project so that they are packed and distributed with the game or application.
