How can we improve this slide?
Presentation software is another major type of graphics program. This software enables users to create graphics to project onto motion-picture screens at meetings. At a sales meeting, for example, a manager might project sales charts and graphs, along with posters suggesting how to improve sales.
Graphics created with presentation software are transferred to slides or, with special hardware, projected onto the screen from the computer itself. Most presentation software can also produce special effects, such as images that fade away or are transformed into other images, and even sound effects.
Games software combines graphics, animation, sound, and music with clever design to produce exciting adventures and puzzles. Computer games are played on PC's or dedicated computers called video game units. These special units generally display their pictures on television screens. Some computer games can be played on two or more computers connected by modems. Using a keyboard, a joystick, or a mouse, players can interact with the games, controlling the movement of one or more characters or other elements.
