[TIB] Re: games


A sprite is a small graphic image which is generally used for game
objects (such as paddle, ball, and bricks in breakout).  In a game
graphics library there would ( or should ) be library functions for
placing sprites into a graphics buffer ( either the screen itself, or
an offscreen buffer ).  Often these sprites constist of two images.
One is the image itself (often multiple bitplanes for a color image) ,
and the other image is a mask (a single bit plane).  The mask controls
which pixels of the image are actually drawn.  Also the masks may be
used for a collision detection function.

The most frequently seen sprite is the mouse pointer.
