# ** Cache
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This module loads each of graphics, creates a Bitmap object, and retains it.
# To speed up load times and conserve memory, this module holds the created
# Bitmap object in the internal hash, allowing the program to return
# preexisting objects when the same bitmap is requested again.
