Hello guys!

There's something I've been wondering about.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but anti-aliasing is tricking the eye into seeing jaggies as being curved and smooth.

The way I understand it, you need to use a color which blends with the background color.

How can you apply AA to video characters if the background changes constantly? I'm guessing by using a black outline so that it stands out more like Mario and Luigi but in this case, how can you AA?

I mean all those extra pixels used for the AA, once you outline them in black, then the AA won't work anymore, will it?

I don't know if I'm being clear about this. Let me know if you'd like me to clairify something.
