#2

hm, pretty big question…

short answer:

  • use copyArea
  • use tile-images of sizes 2^n
  • never draw stuff that you don’t need to, take some time to compute what you need to draw instead of drawing just-in-case.

or that’s what I think anyway.

that might help but ideally you should seach the forum for tutorials, there is a link to a few chapters on 2d among other things.
