// Package ebiten provides graphics and input API to develop a 2D game.
//
// You can start the game by calling the function Run.
//
//     // update is called every frame (1/60 [s]).
//     func update(screen *ebiten.Image) error {
//
//         // Write your game's logical update.
//
//         if ebiten.IsDrawingSkipped() {
//             // When the game is running slowly, the rendering result
//             // will not be adopted.
//             return nil
//         }
//
//         // Write your game's rendering.
//
//         return nil
//     }
//
//     func main() {
//         // Call ebiten.Run to start your game loop.
//         if err := ebiten.Run(update, 320, 240, 2, "Your game's title"); err != nil {
//             log.Fatal(err)
//         }
//     }
//
// The EBITEN_SCREENSHOT_KEY environment variable specifies the key
// to take a screenshot. For example, if you run your game with
// `EBITEN_SCREENSHOT_KEY=q`, you can take a game screen's screenshot
// by pressing Q key. This works only on desktops.
//
// The EBITEN_INTERNAL_IMAGES_KEY environment variable specifies the key
// to dump all the internal images. This is valid only when the build tag
// 'ebitendebug' is specified. This works only on desktops.
//
// In the API document, 'the main thread' means the goroutine in init(), main() and their callees without 'go'
// statement. It is assured that 'the main thread' runs on the OS main thread. There are some Ebiten functions that
// must be called on the main thread under some conditions (typically, before ebiten.Run is called).
