If you examine the modern games being sold for PCs and Macs you will note that most of them use bitmaps as the primary visual presentation method. For example, if a person on the screen speaks, the only portion of the visual presentation that moves is the person s mouth ” not the complete body. With the software that the Visual Studio C# compiler provides, the programmer cannot insert a portion of the bitmap ” the entire bitmap must be reworked and re-presented. Overwriting a basic bitmap with a small bitmap is tricky business for the graphics neophyte ” but not for the professional graphics person who makes cartoons for everyday use on the media networks.
Future versions of the Visual Studio C# compiler will increase the graphics capability of the programs produced, but the ability to create professional-quality cartoons will remain the purview of highly sophisticated commercial software used at TV stations that rents for about $20,000 a month.
