In producing a display, you are concerned with two primary components:
sprites and the playfield.  Sprites are the easily movable parts of the
display.  The playfield is the static part of the display and forms a
backdrop against which the sprites can move and with which the sprites can
interact.

This chapter covers the creation of the background.  Sprites are described
in the "Graphics Sprites, Bobs and Animation" chapter.
