- Description
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
- Acorn Sprite is a type of computer file used by the Acorn computer system. It is a bitmap image format used to store graphical sprites and other graphical elements. Acorn Sprite files are usually stored in a compressed format, which allows them to be quickly accessed and used in game development.
