You could probably explain the vast majority of ARM assembler in a 
single newsgroup post. The syntax is very simple, and the mnemonics are 
mostly obvious or very easy to remember. You're free to use any register 
for source or either of the destinations, and all registers are the same 
bit-width.

Someone needs to write a wrapper to go on top of the Android SDK that is 
a) easy to install and b) uses an easy language that allows you to just 
start writing commands to draw stuff without tons of boiler-plate code.
