Hello,

Does anyone know were to find an algorithm to do smooth animation
of a sprite across an arbitrary background.  By smooth I mean that
I don't want to see the background flicker through the sprite. 
Examples of existing programs with this type of animation are Windows
Solitare and any mouse driver.  I would appreciate a reference or
algorithm description.

Thanks in advance.
