+module Rubygame
+
+	# EventQueue provides a simple way to manage SDL's events, allowing the
+	# application to detect keyboard presses, mouse movements and clicks,
+	# joystick movement, etc. You can also post custom events to the
+  # EventQueue to help manage the game state.
+  # 
+  # This class replaces the old Rubygame::Queue class, which is no longer
+  # available. While EventQueue class serves the same purpose as the old
+  # class, they are somewhat different in behavior. Please note that while
+  # the old class was a Singleton, this class is not; you may have as many
+  # separate instances of EventQueue as you wish (although it is strongly
+  # recommended that only one be used to #fetch_sdl_events).
+  # 
+  # For basic usage, create a #new EventQueue with autofetch, then call the
+  # #each method once per game loop, passing a block which handles events.
+  # See the sample applications for examples of this.
+  #
+  # If you wish to ignore all events of a certain class, append those classes
+  # the instance variable @ignore (accessors are provided). You can ignore as
+  # many classes of events as you want, but make sure you don't ignore ALL
+  # event classes, or the user won't be able to control the game!
+  # 
+  # If the program has to pause and wait for an event (for example, if the
+  # player must press a button to begin playing), you might find the #wait
+  # method to be convenient.
+	# 
+	# For reference, the full list of SDL events is:
+	# - Event (base class, not used by itself)
+	# - ActiveEvent
+	# - JoyAxisEvent
+	# - JoyBallEvent
+	# - JoyDownEvent
+	# - JoyHatEvent
+	# - JoyUpEvent
+	# - KeyDownEvent
