I am happy to announce that two new articles and samples are available on
MSDN. Sorry about the naming but I got carried away and it was too late to
turn back!

Dancing Zombies: Adding Bitmaps to the Managed Graphics Library
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/WrapGAPI2.asp

Dancing Particles: Adding Points, Lines, Fonts, and Input to the Managed
Graphics Library
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/WrapGAPI3.asp

These are articles are gaming related and build on the previous sample:

Dancing Rectangles: Using GAPI to Create a Managed Graphics Library

Nice job Geoff!

But unmanaged helper DLL is not really required since GXGetDisplayProperties
could be declared (as it was discovered by Alex Feinman a few months ago) as
the following:

[DllImport("gx.dll", EntryPoint="#6")]
public static extern void GXGetDisplayProperties(out GXDisplayProperties
props);

Thanks for the info Alex. I may make a note of that in the installation
section of the docs but I will leave GapiNet because it provides a simple
example of creating a DLL and calling it in managed code. Creating and
calling native DLLs is still one of the most common issues I respond to.
