For my project I had a game styled like a first person shooter.  One of the 
problems I encountered was finding a short and sweet way of loading a graphic 
with transparent portions onto the background.  Another problem I encountered 
was loading my graphics.  Almost all of the functions I encountered used 
graphics as resources, but that leads to a bloated executable.  External 
graphic files also allow the user to make limited modifications to suite their 
own needs.
