I am writing a game that involves the use of many square-shaped PICT resources.  I'd like to be able to display them pointing up, down, left, or right.  Do
I have to include four PICTS for each image (one pointing in each direction)
in my resource file in a brute force approach or is there a nicer way
I could just have one PICT per image and internally rotate it?  How are PICTs stored? I take it that they are not bitmaps - hence my question on how to rotate them.  Thanks in advance for your help.
