int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    //Get the displays
    auto displays = GetDisplays();

    //Create a window
    auto window = CreateWindow("Leadwerks", 0, 0, 1280, 720, displays[0], WINDOW_CENTER | WINDOW_TITLEBAR);

    //Create framebuffer
    auto framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(window);

    //Create world
    auto world = CreateWorld();

    //Create camera
    auto camera = CreateCamera(world, PROJECTION_ORTHOGRAPHIC);
    camera->SetClearColor(0.125);
    camera->SetPosition(float(framebuffer->size.x) * 0.5f, float(framebuffer->size.y) * 0.5f, 0.0f);

    //Create sprite
    auto sprite = CreateSprite(world, 100, 100);
    sprite->SetColor(0, 0, 1);
    sprite->SetPosition(10, 10, 0);

    //Main loop
    while (window->Closed() == false and window->KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) == false)
    {
        world->Update();
        world->Render(framebuffer);
    }
    return 0;
