Even though 9 doesn't have OpenGL, what is the easiest way to code (as far
as coding amount is concerned) graphics in 9? On a side note, how awesome
would it be to put openGL on 9, and run a distributed system for
supergaming?! 9 is just that awesome. Haha.

might want to look at /sys/src/games.  there are more examples in various
/n/sources/contrib.
