so, a brief explanation is due: Plasma draws its ui elements with a class called FrameSvg, that is a Svg subclass and composes the 9 elements needed to render something like a rounded button-ish look. Svg is a class that opens an svg file and can draw it either complete or a single element of it, so having the whole graphics needed for a game in a single file is perfectly possible. > games consist of a relatively small number of sprites.
