I meant to tell you guys about this a long time ago, but I forgot. I taught a class recently on programming 2-D platform video games. In that class, I used a demo game I wrote called "AppleWars". It is a terrible game, but demos tiling, sprites, bounding-box collision detection and camera ...

I believe that you only need to use Steamworks if you plan on implementing achievements/multiplayer through Steam. DRM is implemented where each binary is custom-built for each user with code that prevents it from running on the wrong accounts or some such, IIRC, which means you might, like, have to...
