/* This Tutorial shows how to do 2d graphics with the Irrlicht
Engine. It shows how to draw images, keycolor based sprites,
transparent rectangles and different fonts. You will may
consider this useful if you want to make a 2d game with the
engine, or if you want to draw a cool interface or head up
display for your 3d game. */
