Ok: Baby steps

Let's get the basics first: opening screens and windows, displaying something on the screen.
I've made a new repo on Github collecting all small examples.
If there are no building instructions you can compile them with:

• Sas/C: type "mkmk" then "smake"
• GCC: type "gcc -noixemul ****.c -o ****"

Let's not worry about portabilty at this point. The first goal is to get a program running that

• runs fullscreen
• displays an animated sprite 
• listens for mouse and keyboard input
• does some kind of performance test
• exits gracefully on click

Maybe a bunnymark to test raw sprite perfomance?

My first semi-usefull program: detect if we are running on AGA Amiga or not. Yay! works fine.

Some interesting resources:

• Excellent resource with lots of examples in C provided by Commodore in 1990 for the Amiga Reference Manual.: http://www.aminet.net/dev/src/RKMCompanion.lha
• Zoom2 CD contains some interesting snippets: http://cd.textfiles.com/zoom2/programming/amigac/c_manual/
• to check out in the future: https://github.com/weiju/amiga-stuff/tree/master/scrolling_tricks
