| | Sprite (computer graphics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional image or animation that is integrated into a larger scene. | | | As computer performance improved, this optimization became unnecessary and the term evolved to refer specifically to the two dimensional images themselves that were integrated into a scene. | | | Player-Missile Graphics was used on the Atari 400/800 to refer to hardware-generated sprites. |

| | 2D computer graphics - Free Encyclopedia |
| | In 2D computer graphics, the computer screen may be considered as a canvas on which an image is drawn or composed. | | | 2D computer graphics typically do not involve the need for any kind of three-dimensional internal representation of objects or lighting characteristics in the computer; that field is customarily reserved for 3D computer graphics. | | | Several techniques exist for rendering 2D graphics on a computer screen; these may be broadly categorized into raster graphics, in which a rectangular array of pixels is drawn to the screen, and vector graphics, in which images are composed of mathematical representations of lines, curves, and other geometric shapes. |

| | Section 15: Hardware |
| | The "democratization of computer graphics", as one author put it, was made possible by the introduction of raster graphics. | | | Most installations used the same workflow configuration during this time: a mainframe computer or minicomputer was accessed by multiple users, each with a terminal but sharing a frame buffer, which was connected to the computer with a Bus interface. | | | Since the early days of personal computers, most graphics boards have been translators, taking the fully developed image created by the computer's CPU and translating it into the electrical impulses required to drive the computer's monitor. |

| | In 256-color modes, uses the global color_map table to tint the sprite image to the specified color or to light it to the level specified by 'color', depending on the function which was used to build the table (create_trans_table or create_light_table), and draws the resulting image to the destination bitmap. | | | In truecolor modes, uses the blender functions to light the sprite image using the alpha level specified by 'color' (the alpha level which was passed to the blender functions is ignored) and draws the resulting image to the destination bitmap. | | | Although generally not supporting graphics of mixed color depths, as a special case this function can be used to draw 256-color source images onto truecolor destination bitmaps, so you can use palette effects on specific sprites within a truecolor program. |
