Another big no no is having different sized pixels on things.
you can't write that text using that pixel resolution -_- also a lot of Commodore 64 games had different pixel resolutions on the same screen

 Based it around those DBZ GBC sprites. Supposed to be like those Japanese superheroes. Red one is not very readable. Blue one is totally rad, tho.

You can also say that the reason you convert them to matrices is because you need them to do transformations on the GPU.
You can optimize a lot the code both performance and memory wide not storing all your keyframes into 4x4 matrices.
Also concatenating quaternions is faster than concatenating matrices, so actually in a hierarchical transformations system is better to use matricies just to pass them to the vertex shader, and still you can even pass the quaternions directly with a bit of different math on the shader, i need to try it...
quaternion: 4 float matrix: 9 float (more than 2x of memory)
also matrices can deortogonalize, and can gimbal lock, quaternions can too but you can normalize them easily...
quaternions are harder to read and to visualize than matricies, that's true.

Red Sparowes, Russian Circles, Isis, Cult of Luna....
Russian Circles are excellent. However, I couldn't really get into Isis. Listening to Turqoise Hexagon Sun by Boards of Canada. Try the album Panopticon  and then maybe In The Absence Of Truth. <3 Boards of Canada.

@tim_the_tam You know, if you press one of the arrow keys, while no other arrow keys are down, you'll make a quick turn, switching your direction instantaneously. I'm pretty sure that will help  it doesn't always work :\ dunno that's maybe why it looked buggy to me
