DirectDraw
DirectDraw is a deprecated API that used to be a part of Microsoft's DirectX API. DirectDraw is used to accelerate rendering of graphics in applications. DirectDraw also allows applications to run fullscreen or embedded in a window such as most other MS Windows applications. DirectDraw uses hardware acceleration if it is available on the client's computer. DirectDraw allows direct access to video memory, hardware overlays, hardware blitters, and page flipping. Its video memory manager can manipulate video memory with ease, taking full advantage of the blitting and color decompression capabilities of different types of display adapters.
DirectDraw is a 2D API. That is, it contains commands for 2D rendering and does not support 3D hardware acceleration. A programmer could use DirectDraw to draw 3D graphics, but the rendering would be slow compared to an API such as Direct3D which does support 3D hardware acceleration.
DirectDraw was introduced for Windows Mobile in Windows Mobile 5.0, replacing the graphics component of GAPI, which was then deprecated.

Shattered
by: DarkwaterMusic: Båth Sigfridsson
Lyrics: Båth
All these eyes that I face
Black and numb, cold, disgraced
Reveals me and laughs at me
Into these eyes I stare
An endless deep, I can't bear it anymore
You break me down
I'm lost, I'm found
I can not see
Is it all about me?
Shattered
Reveal the truth to me
Shattered
I'm far too close to see
I question every part of this
I twist, I turn, forever bound
I'm shattered
Will I hit the ground
One step up two steps down
Has broken me to the sound
Of tattered dreams soiled with screams
I've lost the meaning of all
I try to rise but I fall again
You broke me down
I'm lost. I'm found
Too late, to see
It's all about me
Shattered
Reveal the truth to me
Shattered
I'm just too blind to see
I question every part of this
I twist, I turn, forever bound
I'm shattered
Once again I hit the ground
I question every thought inside me
Just to break down this
wall you once built
Seeing things never meant to be seen
I try, I fly, then I die
Shattered
Reveal the truth to me
Shattered
I'm far too close to see
I question every part of this
I twist, I turn, forever bound
I'm shattered
Trust in nothing reach for bliss
Shattered pieces on the ground
Reveals the truth to me
Lies projected in my mind
I'm far too close to see
I question every part of this
I twist, I turn, forever bound
I'm shattered
