Which term is used for a graphic object that can move and be drawn on screen?

• A. Sprite
• B. Class
• C. Program
• D. Variable

Answer: (A)

A sprite is the graphic object that can move and be drawn on the screen. In graphics and game programming, a sprite represents an image (or animation) with a position you can update each frame, then redraw, making it appear to move. This concept is used for characters, items, and other on-screen objects. The other terms aren’t about a drawable moving object: a class is merely a blueprint for creating objects, a program is the whole set of instructions, and a variable stores data. So the term for a movable, drawable graphic object is sprite.
