This chapter has been all about rendering images onto the screen. We have covered source and destination rectangles and animating a sprite sheet. We took what we learned and applied it to creating a reusable texture manager class, enabling us to easily load and draw images throughout our game. In the next chapter, we will cover using inheritance and polymorphism to create a base game object class and use it within our game framework.
