This application runs in a medium-sized window. At the end of the chapter, though, you'll see how to modify it to use Full-Screen Exclusive Mode (FSEM), and you'll learn how to modify the display mode for the monitor with FSEM.

Figure 19-1 contains two screenshots: the image on the left shows the sprite (a "stick child") walking, and the right hand image has the sprite punching.
