+# System Calls
+
+## Experimental Display and Event System Calls
+
+These system calls are solely for the convenience of accessing the [SDL library](https://www.libsdl.org/) and are only intended for the presentation of RISC-V graphics applications. They are not present in the ABI interface of POSIX or Linux.
+
+### `draw_frame` - Draw a frame around the SDL window
+
+**system call number**: `0xBEEF`
+
+**synopsis**: `void draw_frame(void *screen, int width, int height)`
+
+If a window does not already exist, one will be created with the specified `width` and `height`. The `screen` buffer will replace the content of the framebuffer, passing a different `width` or `height` compared to the size of the window is undefined behavior. This system call additionally polls events from the SDL library, and, if necessary, update the internal input specific event queue.
+
+### `draw_frame_pal` - Draw a frame with indexed-coloring around the SDL window 
+
+**system call number**: `0xBABE`
+
+**synopsis**: `void draw_frame_pal(void *screen, void *pal, int width, int height)`
+
+Similar to `draw_frame`, but with indexed-coloring instead, `pal` is a RGB look up table with 256 different colors, all pixels in the framebuffer will be automatically mapped before being drawn on the screen.
+
+### `poll_event(event)` - Poll a input specific event from SDL
+
+**system call number**: `0xC0DE`
+
+**synopsis**: `int poll_event(void *event)`
+
+`event` will be filled with the polled event data, it should have a 32-bit `type` field, and associated with an appropriately sized value buffer. The internal event queue will be updated everytime `draw_frame` or `draw_frame_pal` is called.
+
+Currently accepted event types include the following:
+* `KEY_EVENT` - `0x0`: Triggered when the status of keyboard changes, either when a key is pressed or released, and it returns a 32-bit keycode and a 8-bit key state, the values of the hexadecimal keycodes are listed in [SDL Keycode Lookup Table](https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDLKeycodeLookup)
+* `MOUSE_MOTION_EVENT` - `0x1`: A mouse move event, with relative position information, two 32-bit signed integers that correspond to the x and y delta value, the mouse is continually wrapped in the window border by default.
+* `MOUSE_BUTTON_EVENT` - `0x2`: the user code receives this event whenever the state of a mouse button changes, whether a button is pressed or released, and it returns a 8-bit value that indicates which button is updated(1 is left, 2 is middle, 3 is right and so on), as well as a 8-bit state value that indicates whether the button is pressed.
