/blitr/ , n. [common] A special-purpose chip or hardware system built to
|
|
|
|
|
perform blit operations, esp. used for fast implementation of bit-mapped
|
|
|
|
|
graphics. The Commodore Amiga and a few other micros have these, but since
|
|
|
|
|
1990 the trend has been away from them (however, see cycle of reincarnation
|
|
|
