There are 2 ways to draw on screen: raster and vector. I used to play pac-man and super mario bros when I was a kid. I remember spending many hours trying to win them alone in my bedroom eating lots of snacks and to be honest those were great times! But my mom was always very angry because she thought I was wasting my time. Maybe at that time, nobody at home and even myself did not notice that playing video games was a w...
