 About priorities: High Priority items need to be completed for a successful project. Medium Priority items should be completed for an effective project, but the project can still be successful without the item's completion.  Low Priority items should be completed if time allows.

 content.mak is of particular interest because it specifies what textures, shaders, and 3D models should be wrapped inside the binary.  This file is specific to each program and can be found in SDKPackage/TrainingCourse/06_IntroducingPVRTools/OGLES2/.
-For example, in the 3D chess graphics port, a texture is used to make the board look like marble. In order to use this texture with PVRTTexture (one of the PVRTools used to load textures for use with OpenGL ES), the texture must be converted to a format usable by PVRTTexture and linked into the actual binary of the program. This can be accomplished by placing the texture (marble.bmp) into the Media folder and making a few modifications to content.mak:

 The Marble.pvr: command converts the bitmap texture to a compressed pvr form using the PVRTexTool utililty. The next command is then used to take the compressed data and wrap it .cpp file with the Filewrap utility.  Finally, the .cpp files can be compiled and linked into the binary.
