Abstract
Sprite interface and code-based functions is described. In an embodiment, a sprite interface is implemented in managed code to provide an interface to sprite animation functions for a gaming application. A sprite application is implemented in native code to provide the sprite animation functions via the sprite interface when initiated by the gaming application. The gaming application, sprite interface, and the sprite application can be implemented in a low-end computing-based device, such as a television-based client device.
