No I don't have to do the whole refresh redraw do I? I just don't draw and call Flip unless something on the screen has changed?
Does this not make sense? Seems to me Redrawing the screen over and over when nothing has changed is just a waste of CPU cycles...
I am going to try running my app, then I am going to comment out all the draw lines and see how much faster it runs. Seems like it would be MUCH faster to me. Which means it could return more time to the OS, or spend more time figuring the AI decisions.
