v. t. e. In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional bitmap that is integrated into a larger scene, most often in a 2D video game. Originally, the term sprite referred to fixed-sized objects composited together, by hardware, with a background. [1] Use of the term has since become more general.
CHIP-8. Screenshot of Pong implemented in CHIP-8. Telmac 1800 running CHIP-8 game Space Intercept (Joseph Weisbecker, 1978) CHIP-8 is an interpreted programming language, developed by Joseph Weisbecker on his 1802 microprocessor. It was initially used on the COSMAC VIP and Telmac 1800, which were 8-bit microcomputers made in the mid-1970s.
The term "GPU" was coined by Sony in reference to the 32-bit Sony GPU (designed by Toshiba) in the PlayStation video game console, released in 1994. In the PC world, notable failed attempts for low-cost 3D graphics chips included the S3 ViRGE, ATI Rage, and Matrox Mystique. These chips were essentially previous-generation 2D accelerators with ...
ARM7 is a group of 32-bit RISC ARM processor cores licensed by ARM Holdings for microcontroller use.

Since ARM7 cores were released from 1993 to ...
In computer architecture, 32-bit computing refers to computer systems with a processor, memory, and other major system components that operate on data in 32- bit units. [1] [2] Compared to smaller bit widths, 32-bit computers can perform large calculations more efficiently and process more data per clock cycle.

INT is an assembly language instruction for x86 processors that generates a software interrupt. It takes the interrupt number formatted as a byte value. [1] When written in assembly language, the instruction is written like this: where X is the software interrupt that should be generated (0-255). As is customary with machine binary arithmetic ...
