Graphics Question?
This is a general question, and I would just like someone to point me in the right direction here. (In other words, I'm not looking for someone to display any code :)
I'm just curious how some programs display moving graphic pictures on the screen without the background "square". In other words, I can put a black "Timage" on a screen and slide it across, but the entire "square" moves across. I'm curious how some programs show only the image, for example if it were a person walking across your screen, the screen background would show and only the person itself (without a background "square" around him) would show? Is there a particular language that is better for this type of graphics, or can someone point me towards some info on how this is done?

Thanks for the info.
Search for it on the internet, and you'll drown in documentations on how to, why to etc.
You can use any language, though I'd recommend C
